This was my first approach (and it still does the same - carries on.

The self.connect(SEL_KEYPRESS) does not get even called (is this
because some other widget has a focus (there are other keyboard
handlers in the log-in screen, but they are set-up for KEY_RELEASE)?

Also, the log-in dialog box gets created in the main window .create
method:

# Main window .create method

  def create
    super
    LoginWindow.new(self).execute(PLACEMENT_SCREEN)
    show(PLACEMENT_SCREEN)
  end
