Ctrl+A shortcut when "Single window for everything" selected does not work as expected

[vArDo]

Reproduction:

1. put Gajim is in "Single window for everything" mode
2. put focus on message textview or chat history (i.e. start writing a message)
3. hit Ctrl+A

Expected: select all text in message textview (or whole conversation history in chat window).

What happens: Gajim pops-up 'Accounts' window. This is because shortcut is taken from roster window and as chat window and roster are the same window here, standard shortcuts are overridden for whole chat window also.

Maybe its possible to prevent this with gtk.Widget's key-press-event (return True to stop other handlers) if message entry is focused?

I just updated to -svn and stumble on this. Very bad because i often rewrite the whole message with CTRL-A
