I thought this is what I originally tried to do to fix the scrolling
problems in the gimp. That was the original reason for writing
"gdk_event_get" (which, btw, did work when originally written). I'm
fairly positive that the scrolling bugs for gimp image windows were
fixed at one point in a manner similar to the above. The theory of
operation seems sound to me.
