	Well - are you sure you have the right signature for the
event_pointer_motion ? with a gboolean return, etc. etc.

	Gack; that feature should almost certainly be turned off or a large
dialog added saying 'This is a bad idea'.

	You weren't to know - but mostly people use 'libglade' which builds
your GUI from the XML file - this is a lot easier to use, since you can
then change your code easily and not have problems later. It _should_
also do auto-signal connection [ although I had problems with that when
I tried to use it last ].

	Bin glade-2's code generation, and use libglade instead; no serious
Gnome project uses the code generation, so it's likely to be stale and
it's certainly not that useful.

	HTH,
