Okay, that makes a lot of sense, but I"m having problems wrapping the
event trigger.  (sp_sendtext is a gtktext widget)

        ta = widgets.get_widget('sp_sendtext')
        ta.signal_connect('key_press_event',sendkey)

Which triggers

def sendkey():
        print "Key pressed!  "
        return FALSE

But I get:

[shevett@cheetah]:~/python/spanker/proj1$ ./spanker.py 
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python1.5/site-packages/gtk.py", line 125, in
__call__
    ret = apply(self.func, a)
TypeError: no arguments expected

Wha'd i do wrong?

Also, could you point me to the structure of an event object?
