You can also do:
 GTK_WIDGET_CLASS(GTK_OBJECT(sheet)->klass)->key_press_event =
my_key_press_handler;

This is more "low level" hacking, and it will COMPLETELY override the
sheet handler, i.e., you'll have to reimplement all the code to handle the
different keys.

I've never tried, but I guess it should work.
