Hi there.

I fixed the bug eventually: after changing the gpointer * to gpointer,
it still gave odd results.  So I mucked around with gdb until I was
thoroughly confused.  The problem was exactly 1 line up:  I was
declaring an incorrect callback function by including a GdkEvent *.

As soon as I removed that, the code worked the way I had thought it
will.  I had simply gotten confused by not realising that different
callbacks require functions in different forms.  Odd, though, that there
were no errors =(

I guess that teaches me to skim through the Tutorial, though :)

Thanks!
