Okay, I looked into the gtkhtml sources which deals with the keybindings 
and didn't find any missing links. The file which provides the emacs 
keybindings (keybindingsrc.emacs) is still being used. So the 
test-editor of gtkhtml, works fine for the various emacs keybindings 
like ^A,^B,^K,^Y, etc. You could try this out by building gtkhtml and 
running the gtkhtml/components/html-editor/test-editor just to make sure 
it really does work and I am not missing something there. I do not know 
yet what could have broken the feature in the upgrade.
