Just added the emacsclient option because it seemed to work:

• http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/sylpheed-claws/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2355#c11
• http://media.mrblog.nl/u/mrb/m/embed-emacs-in-claws/

But if it doesn't maybe it should be removed.

Well, there's a lot of active menus which shouldn't, and these were
grabbing keystrokes before embedded window. Pushed a fix for that.

Otherwise these keys are not disabled/intercepted (the Control-Enter
issue was fixed differently), and control commands seem to work
correctly in embedded GVim. Emacs issue maybe?
