Thanks for your suggestion Julius.  I've modified my code:

    def _keyPressEventCb( self, widget, event ):
        keyname = gtk.gdk.keyval_name(event.keyval)
        print( "keyname:", keyname )

        #check: KP_End
        if (keyname == 'KP_Page_Up'):
            print("gamekey O")
        elif (keyname == 'KP_Page_Down'):
            print("gamekey X")
        elif (keyname == 'KP_End'):
            print("gamekey CHECK")
        elif (keyname == 'KP_Home'):
            print("gamekey SQUARE")

The maddening part is that sometimes I launch a sugar activity and this
works: keyname is equal to 'KP_Page_Down', etc.

But sometimes it doesn't work and Ikeyname is ^[[4~, etc. instead.

To whom do I file this in trac?
