Have you tried putting the eventbox *around* the Toolbar? You would at
least find out if the Toolbar isn't capturing and blocking the
propagation of the signal. It's perhaps a bit odd, but I don't know how
the Toolbar works, and I can give you a hint -- I couldn't get toolbar
buttons to accept mnemonics, either.
If your eventbox doesn't get the key_press_event, does your toplevel
window get it?

Do you get button_press_event, at least? You can try checking in its
event object if it has anything useful set for you..
Take care,
