Thanks for trying to help. Unfortunately neither gtk_widget_add_events() nor
the gtk_widget_event() "trick" is able to solve the problem. Regarding the
gtk_widget_add_events(), I added a call to
gtk_widget_add_events(w_fs_button, GDK_ALL_EVENTS_MASK);
to m the program from my previous email, but didn't make any difference. The
following call is still ignored/blocked:
g_signal_connect(w_fs_button, "button-press-event",
G_CALLBACK(cb_button_press_event), NULL);
Trying to proxy events by using a gtk_event_box() doesn't work either.
Is there no "strace" like system in gobject that makes it possible to dump
all signals that are being sent in a program? That might help me figuring
out what is going wrong.

Dov
