catching messages

This is probably a dumb question (but here goes anyway). I have been
playing with gtk+ for awhile now, but recently I wanted to try
something more graphical.  Basicly I want to be able to read in
some data and display it graphically.  I wanted to add handlers
that would allow me to drag the view port around (using the mouse). 

So basicly I used Glade to create the UI.  So I have a gnome
window (with menu bar and button tool bar and all).  ANd there are
lots of containers (VBox's and HBox's) and doen this chain is a
GtkDrawingArea.  I used Glade to add handlers for various events
(like motion_notift_event, and enter_notify_event etc.).  None of
these handlers ever seem to get called however.  What is causing
this?  Do I have to do something more?  Are the containers
preventing the event from trickling down to the GtkDrawingArea?
