   The GSignal api works on GSignals, sometimes there is some confusion
about events & signals (I think theres something in the reference about that...)

Signals on the GtkWidgetClass with the suffix "-event" (like
"button-press-event")
are events, but that doesn't mean that they are not signals.

So the answer is yes and no, if the external event is a signal, you can
block it with the GSignal API, otherwise...
