I can't speak at all to why some widgets synthesize such events and others don't. However, there is a crucial difference between GtkImage/GtkHBox/GtkLabel, etc., and GtkDrawingArea - the latter has its own GdkWindow, while the former do not (at least as far as I know). Whether this has any connection to the explanation, I'm not sure, but it seems like it might (having not dug in to the code). - Michael _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
