If so, catching and subsuming their events should be as simple as:

window = gtk.Window()
window.connect("key-press-event", on_key_press)
...
def on_key_press(widget, event, *args):
    returnValue = False
    ....
    if event.keyval == gtk.keysyms.<DPAD_LEFT> or\
    event.keyval == gtk.keysyms.<DPAD_RIGHT> or\
    event.keyval == gtk.keysyms.<DPAD_UP> or\
    event.keyval == gtk.keysyms.<DPAD_DOWN>:
        ...
        returnValue = True
    ...
    return returnValue
...

The "returnValue = True" is the import part because it will keep these events from propagating.

EDIT:

I tested this by just returning True and it worked.
