Very nice, thanks. Is it okay for anybody (who's confident of the
answer) to update the FAQ with the wizard, or are there a few people who
take responsibility for keeping it current?
I ask because there is a bug in the example code in 3.2; the print
statement in wakeup() has bad variable substitution formats in it. This
would do nicely (for PyGTK 0.6.x):
def wakeup( widget, event, *args ):
print "Event %d woke me up" % event.type
I think that question 3.3 might benefit from a link to the GtkEventBox
widget too, incase people are trying to bind events to a widget that
doesn't have it's own X window.
I notice that to capture a key press you don't specify
GDK.KEY_PRESS_MASK, yet you can still connect the window to the
key_press_event. Why does this work?
My reading of the docs lead me to believe that you need to do this:
w.add_events(GDK.KEY_PRESS_MASK)
in order to get
w.connect("key_press_event", wakeup)
to work at all (but I've tested your example, and it works -- mine
doesn't, see below). There's a more explicit example here (the fact that
nobody replied made me wonder if it was just me that was confused):

While we're on the subject of key snooping, why doesn't PyGTK have a
binding to the GTK+ global key snooper, which would surely be a better
way to do all this? Is it just that nobody needed it?
