Hi,

I write a native GUI with gtk, which needs to receive keyboard events although 
the window does not have the focus.

The gtk window should be minified and run in background. If the user types a shortcut, the window should get on the foreground and get the focus.

Up to now the shortcut does not matter. It should be easy and fast to be entered and should not clash with a shortcut which is already in use.

The GUI should run on linux and windows.

How to implement this?

I guess this needs to be implemented in a platform specific way. If you know 
the answer for one platform, let me know.

I asked the same question here:

 Thanks,
   Thomas
