Actually SDL catches all key events from X, so if you have for example 
USB keyboard attached (which doesn't work with usual GTK+ stuff), you'll 
catch all the events (if the kernel is compiled to support USB 
peripherials).

Also for the window sizes you can use smaller sizes, but you'll have 
those black borders..

Also one note about SDL applications. Unless you want to use glib with 
your SDL application (or game), listening to dbus is rather extreme. 
Currently there exists this game startup app - game thing (check 
icebreaker for example) and there exists *tunjo glueware to wrap some of 
the D-BUS communication into unix domain socket..

Of course you don't have to give a shit about those, you could just 
launch SDL application without caring about any those, it's up to you if 
you like this stuff or not.
