Yeh, I just meant the key events actually, not all events.  Kind of
like how command events are treated specially now, I think it would be
convenient if key events were sent to the frame if not handled at the
widget level.  There aren't so many key events that it would create
any kind of performance impact I don't think.  And just as with wxApp
getting unhandled events, it wouldn't be confusing for the frame to
get unhandled key events, because top level frames don't usually get
any key events anyway (at least not if they have anything in them,
right?)
