Hi, in the documentation you can find the object heirarchy and what objects that
every object derive from, and what interfaces it implements.

All signals of implemented interfaces and derived objects are valid for the
given object.

The "*-event" signals that originate from the base widget class (GtkWidgetClass)
are ofcourse then, available for all widgets.

The event signals are particular in the sense that they represent
events that come
from the Gdk backend - you must ensure that the widget has the proper
event masks
in order to receive the coresponding event signals.

Cheers,
