Woah, using an EventBox is probably not the right way to do
this. Widgets key bindings can be customized via resource files (gtkrc
files), cf. the documentation on rc files :
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-Resource-Files.html

LablGTK doesn't wrap many of these functions, only
GtkMain.Rc.add_default_file I think, but it should be enough to do
what you want.

GTK2 ships with a Emacs keybindings set, it is in
/usr/share/themes/Emacs/gtk-2.0-key/gtkrc for me.
