Good idea, but it doesn't work, you still get a window menu which pops
up under where the title bar would be if there were one. Makes the
toolbar look a bit funny. Alt-F4 still quits the app as well. That's
another show stopper I hadn't thought of until now. Ho hum.

I've just tried this. It captures the keyboard ok, no other windows get
any keyboard input until you quit the app, but it doesn't stop the
alt-spacebar thing. I don't think it can be done. I've just tried emacs,
which is the application that captures all known keystrokes, and a few
more you did
Actually I believe it is here:

Actually there is a third option. You can grab the focus like VMWare or
DosEMU does and prevent any keystrokes from going to the WM. Of course
you'll have to provide a way to release the grab.
I believe the API is in GdkDisplay area[1
Looks like it's a show stopper, which is a shame because I've already
got a nice layout, and got the keyboard interaction going. The problem
is that the emulation has to bear some resemblance to the real
instrument, and be playable, so even if I don't use the alt key, users
are likely to hit i
