Could be; it's entirely possible I'm wrong. :)  In Galeon's draggable
tabs code, the motion handler is only connected after the notebook
receives a button_down event, so I don't know if it would work
otherwise.

I think enter-notify-event is what you mean, but I don't know if this
will work.  Each tab is probably just a label, which doesn't have its
own window, so I don't think it will receive these signals.
