yes, i see the difference, but still i cant understand what this 
suggestion could be usefull for the problem Efrat Regev has about
".....When my main window overrides on_key_press_event, I
get notified of these events, but the keyboard has no
effect on the window's menu.....". I mean, how to resolve that problem?
How would you discriminate between a keystroke that must be let going to 
the window's menu from one should not go there?
