configure-event on eventbox in composite widget

["Karl H. Beckers" <karl h beckers gmx net>]

Hi all,

is there some trick to make the configure event work on an eventbox in a 
composite widget?

I have a test program which executes a callback on configure-event when 
that callback is connected to the topleven window.
It also works when it is connected to a drawing area added to the window.
However if I add a custom, composite widget (ei) to the window which 
contains an eventbox (ebox) and then try to connect the callback to the 
configure event of GTK_OBJECT(XV_ERROR_ITEM(ei)->ebox) ... the callback 
never gets executed.

Am I missing anything obvious?

TIA,

Karl.
