 I connect a 'key-press-event' to my activity, and handle the callback like
 this:

 {{{
     def _keyPressEventCb( self, widget, event ):
         keyname = gtk.gdk.keyval_name(event.keyval)
         print( "keyname:", keyname )

         if (keyname == 'KP_Page_Up'):
             print("gamekey O")
         elif (keyname == 'KP_Page_Down'):
             print("gamekey X")
         elif (keyname == 'KP_End'):
             print("gamekey CHECK")
         elif (keyname == 'KP_Home'):
             print("gamekey SQUARE")
 }}}

 Sometimes the keyname variable is 'KP_Home', etc., as expected, but
 sometimes I get nonsense such as
 {{{
 ^[[6~
 }}}
  as the X key.

 Then I quit and restart the same sugar activity and it works.  Then I
 relaunch and I get nonsense... it seems to be luck of the draw when I
 launch.

 Workaround is to match on both nonsense and expected strings, but a
 solution would be preferable.
