enter/leave events on click?

[Lars Damerow <lars pixar com>]

Hi folks,

Can anyone tell me why, with the following program, clicking in the event box
gives me enter and leave events? For one of my projects I need to turn specific
behavior on when the pointer is over a certain widget and off when the pointer
leaves, but the enter/leave events I'm getting from clicks are making that very
hard.

This is with gtk+-2.0.

Many thanks,

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <gtk/gtk.h>

gint enter_event(GtkWidget *widget, GdkEventCrossing *event)
{
    printf("enter\n");
    return TRUE;
}

gint leave_event(GtkWidget *widget, GdkEventCrossing *event)
{
    printf("leave\n");
    return TRUE;
}

int main( int argc,
          char *argv[] )
{
    GtkWidget *window;
    GtkWidget *event_box;

    gtk_init (&argc, &argv);

    window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
    gtk_widget_set_usize(window, 50, 50);
    gtk_window_set_title (GTK_WINDOW (window), "Event Box");
    g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT (window), "destroy",
              G_CALLBACK (exit), NULL);
    gtk_container_set_border_width (GTK_CONTAINER (window), 10);

    event_box = gtk_event_box_new ();
    gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), event_box);
    gtk_widget_show (event_box);
    g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT (event_box), "enter_notify_event",
              G_CALLBACK (enter_event), NULL);
    g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT (event_box), "leave_notify_event",
              G_CALLBACK (leave_event), NULL);
    gtk_widget_show (window);
    gtk_main ();
    return 0;
}
