In reality, all you need to do is make sure you've declared the method 
correctly.  Once you've connected your signal, each time the widget 
looses focus (focus out), your method will be called.  The event 
parameter allows you to examine the event that caused your method to be 
called.  For an explanation of what a GdkEventFocus is, see:

http://library.gnome.org/devel/gdk/stable/gdk-Event-Structures.html#GdkEventFocus

Once your method is called with the event parameter by the signaling 
system, you can examine the details of the event in your method.
