No, its much more than that. I don't think that the toolkit should
ever change the state of a widget to PRELIGHT. we already have the
enter_notify and leave_notify events if the widget wants to respond to
cursor entry and exit. The toolkit should keep its nose out of it. I
don't care what the theme does with the state - I don't want the state
to exist at all!

I agree. My use of a function call was mostly a bad attempt at
sarcastic wit. Yes, a user setting in ~/.gtkrc would be much better.
