I'm guessing that Emacs keymaps would get in the way.
So one would have to have a key binding that passed through the key
event to the GTK control.
This is the sort of thing that I'm talking about: tighter integration
with GTK as an option for Emacs. So by default Emacs (even Emacs/GTK)
would not have this stuff turned on but it would be available.
