Oh n/m I fixed it. For anyone else's reference:

   if (gdk_events_pending())
   {
      while ((e = (GdkEventMotion *) gdk_event_get()) != NULL)
      {
         if (e->type == GDK_MOTION_NOTIFY)
         {
            D(5, ("skipping event, new one coming\n"));
            event = e;
         }
         else
         {
            gdk_event_put((GdkEvent *) e);
            break;
         }
      }
   }

Having conclusively proved I suck, I humbly withdraw ;-) Unless anyone
has a cleaner/faster solution for me?

Tom.
