I wanted multiple keypresses and two-key shortcuts and quickly-user-settable shortcuts so created my own (byzantine) keypress handling (http://denemo.org)... The main remaining problem is that windowing systems will steal key presses before they get to gtk - windows for example always steals the key that frequently has its logo printed on it.
