This is true if mouse move events are reported to the application even
when the mouse pointer has left the inner area of the window. A long
time ago I was experimenting with this and at that time I didn't
succeed. Not sure whether it was with GTK+ at that time, though. So I
thought mouse move events wouldn't be reported to a GTK+ application
when the pointer is outside its window. But apparently in GTK+ this
should happen, indeed?
