gtkmm 2.2 Not Recognizing Certain Key Presses

["Dave Hansen" <corac05 hotmail com>]

Hello,

I am developing a program using the gtkmm 2.2 API (using the older version 
due to some requirements)

Anyway I am encountering two different problems.  The first is that I cannot 
get the key press handler to recognize keys such as control, alt, enter, 
space, as well as the arrow keys.

To illustrate the second problem I will give an example, If i were to press 
'a', I will get the appropriate 'a' response.  If i hold it down then press 
'b', hold it, it recognizes and performs the 'b' response.  If i then stop 
holding down 'b', it doesnt recognize that I am still holding down 'a'.

I am using the following line of code to connect to the interrupt.
Where Win is a Gtk::Window, and canvas is a derived class from 
Gtk::DrawingArea.

Win.signal_key_press_event().connect(SigC::slot(MyCanvas,&Canvas::KeyPressHandler));

Anyway, any sort of advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
David Hansen
