First of all, thanks for your help(You rock!..:)). The event handling works right. Unfortunately, it turned out that setting GTK_STATE_PRELIGHT makes no difference on the event widget( thats if i didnt goof off but i'm sure , i didnt). So let me brief you
 on what i'm trying to accomplish here. I use the eventbox to draw a pixmap on that acts like a button(this is for a toolbar). The reason i want this is because, I do not want the border around the pixmap if I was to pack it in a button(or use GtkToolbar)
. So I thougth if i'll leave a border_width around this pixmap then set_state to get that PRELIGHT state when the mouse is moved over. It didnt work. I also tested drawing a label onto the eventbox and set the eventbox PRELIGHT, still didnt work.
	I realize I could just use two pixmaps and switch back and forth. Do you have any suggestions?. Thanks in advance.
