Yes...  You just need to check event->type, and to see which button, check
event->button.  for example:

switch( event->button )
{
	case 1: /* First button (1, 2, 3 are the 3 buttons) */
		switch( event->type )
		{
			case GDK_BUTTON_PRESS:
			stuff for one button press...

			case GDK_2BUTTON_PRESS:
			stuff for double click....

			case GDK_3BUTTON_PRESS:
			stuff for triple click....
		}
	case 2:
		middle button stuff...



and so on...  One caution: a double click will call this routine THREE
times....once for the first click GDK_BUTTON_PRESS, once for the 2nd
click, again GDK_BUTTON_PRESS, and once for the GDK_2BUTTON_PRESS.  Plan
accordingly ;-)
