Doing the following seems to have no effect. The default CTRL+TAB  
mapping stays is executed (i.e. changes to another child window).

Gtk::AccelMap.add\_entry(’/switch’, Gdk::Keyval::GDK\_Tab,  
Gdk::Window::CONTROL\_MASK)

I’ve tested with other key combinations and they work fine. I could use  
key\_press\_event but that means I’d have to code a special case just for  
this problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
