aha. interesting.

I initially thought I couldnt do anything with the gtk color choose,
because I looked at testgtk, which used gtk_color_selection_dialog_new()
and then I looked at the code for gtk_color_selection_dialog_new(), and it
seemed to invoke a primitive. So I thought that was as low as I could go.

I'm very new to gtk, so if you dont mind I'll ask another rookie question:

Will I be able to adjust the GtkColorSelection widget to accept mouse
clicks from XINPUT devices at all, or am I going to have to start from
some completely standalone self-contained widget?
