I believe this is impossible (or should be). Anything that can be
clicked should also be reachable via the keyboard, which means it must
be able to receive focus.
 
Actually, there's one place where this annoys me a great deal -- the
comboBoxEntry.  If I have the following in a table:

Entry, ComboBoxEntry, Entry

I'd like my data-entering user to be able to type

data TAB data TAB data

but alas, they have to type

data TAB data TAB TAB data

because the down-arrow on the ComboBoxEntry receives focus. Annoying,
I know, but also a result of the
everything-clickable-must-receive-focus principle.

That said, I'm just guessing that this is a general gtk usability
principle -- I could be wrong, in which case I'm glad to be corrected
(and I'd also be glad to learn how to take over focus control so that
I can fix the above flow problem).
