Re: Using AbiWidget

Ok, I found the hack: Just connect the key_press_event signal before the
abiwidget is shown, like this:

  libabiword_init(argc, (const char **)argv);
  abi = abi_widget_new ();
  /* The key press event must be connected at this stage, else the
widget absorbs every event */
  g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT (abi), "key_press_event", G_CALLBACK
(on_key_press_event), NULL);
  gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), abi);
  gtk_widget_show_all (window);
