  Then I'll go out on a limb and state (!) that you only get 
motion events with buttons pressed down (i.e., you're only given 
"drag" events).  I'm pretty certain about this - tell all apps. 
about all mouse movements all the time would be pretty wasteful.

  That's the kiddie.  IIRC, notebook tabs are actually 
containers which by default only contain labels (you can put 
what you like in 'em - images, e.g.), so attaching enter-notify 
to the tab (== container) should work.
