[Sugar-devel] Quick question - gtk focusing

[Wade Brainerd]

Hey Emiliano,
It depends on what value you return from your key_press_event handler.

If you return False (the default), the event is passed on to other event
handlers including the keyboard navigation one.
If you return True, no other event handlers will be processed so keyboard
navigation will be avoided.
