This functions needs to be in gdk, because it has to be used by
the widgets. It's not something that can be implemented
externally: only the widget knows where the region of interest is.

Better ideas that would work with the current X
environment appreciated:-)
Another thing needed would be a pointer changed notification from the
X server (currently gmag emulates only a standard arrow pointer
even if the actual cursor is an I-beam). But this will need
an Xserver extension...
