	Yes, thats how I did after thinking and thinking. I used
set_data to bind the current pagenum to the event and if the
event == left mouse button I just manually call page_num.

	But, when using this GtkEventBox, there a light gray
border around the Label at the Notebook ? Can I remove this ?
I've set up a screenshot to show what I mean [1].
