Re: Mapping buttons to mouse events

I set a filter to capture all events on the GtkEntry (using
gdk_window_set_filter and gdk_window_set_events) and saw that the GtkEntry
only received events 2 and 3 when pressing the pad center (even when the
entry didn't have the focus) and nothing at all when I released it. Does X
produce button up events for the pad?

Thanks,
D
