OK, I have solved the problem. The reference was a help. The clue is that
the events may not get passed through the parent. For reference here is
the code that worked.
It's good to finally get the basics working.

import gtk
import gtk.glade
def key_press(widget,event):
print "keypress"
xml = gtk.glade.XML('pgtest.glade')
widget = xml.get_widget('drawingarea1')
xml.signal_autoconnect({
"on_page_key_press_event": key_press,
"on_page_destroy_event": gtk.main_quit
})
gtk.main()
