This signal handler has to be connected to the widget's button press 
signal fist (in the application code), yes?

This is a problem since I do not have access to the widget at all. This 
is my widget querying application that I mentioned before where I am 
querying widget names and positions where mouse clicks occured through a 
socket, so I do not have access to the internals of the application. A 
preload library helps me to get access to some of the details of the 
application, but I think I can work on quite low level only, like 
catching button press events and trying to figure out where the click 
happened (widgets and coordinates).

Or am I missing something?
