  I did the patch which show a warning when trying to set a event_mask 
when a widget is already realized, because I spent a lot of time to find 
_Why_ my  gtk_widget_set_events didn't work !

 I think it's a very good idea to use XChangeWindowAttribute() instead of 
just show a warning (but I'm a lazy man !)
