What if you play with directfb's input modules? you could try handling 
input devices via the linux_input module by adding

disable-module=keyboard
disable-module=ps2mouse

to your directfbrc file

please also checkout gtk+ trunk or branch gtk-2-10: official gtk+ 
releases up to 2.10.12  have a directfb backend not up to date, should 
be fixed in upcoming 2.10.13.
