Since I had no response last night I will clarify my needs. I have a
stolen (gtk_socket_steal)
X window that is put inside gtk code. The stolen x window takes up all
of the application "surface". I would like to be able to steal the mouse
click events in any of the gtk widgets that are used to pack it because
I want to show a pop-up menu on mouse right click. I haven't succeded
and I assumed that the essence of the problem is described by the above
code snippet. The widget hierachy is as follows: GtkSocket steals X
window; GtkSocket is put in a GtkLayout; GtkLayout is put in a
GtkScrolledWindow; GtkScrolledWindow goes into a vbox which goes into
the toplevel GtkWindow.

Thanks,
