Yes it is, but I did not understand it _until_ I made a 
grep motion_event */* in the gtk+-1.2.6 directory, found scribble and
copied the event handler. And now i think that maybe I understand what 
gtk_window_get_pointer() is for ... am I right when I think that by calling
it I signal the signal marshaller (or whoever is concerned by this) that I´m
ready for the next event or hint?

Please clarify the usage of gtk_window_get_pointer() in your book, as it is
quite clear and descriptive in most other cases ...
