I missed a crucial step here. You also need to specify that the ordinarily non-focusable widget can receive focus by setting its "can-focus" property: GTK_WIDGET_SET_FLAGS (GTK_WIDGET(my_widget), GTK_CAN_FOCUS); -- -Mike Melanson _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
