When it sees key events targetted at any subwindow within the toplevel, they are redirected to the toplevel GtkWindow.
The key_press_event handler for the toplevel window checks to see if the key event corresponds to an accelerator/mnemonic (and activates the appropriate widget if so), or passes the key event on to the widget with focus (even if the widget is a NOWINDOW widget, IIRC). I learned about all this handling when trying to get an app that was using mozilla and native widgets together to play nicely with the focus ...
