I thought I would ask some fundamental questions before I presented a 
lot of complex code that would more likely than not only confuse 
everyone... Or alternatively, I don't want to spend time on writing a 
simple example before I know if the functionality is actually expected 
to work...

Ah, but it's not the ALT key I don't see, it's the actual button 
click/release. That is, the callback simply isn't called, so if I do:

gboolean mouse(GtkWidget *widget, GdkEventButton *event, gpointer nil)
{
   fprintf(stderr, "This is the mouse callback\n");

}

I simply don't see the text on the console when I press the button. Or 
that is, I know the events are caught in the sense that I do get the 
printout if I press the button alone, or even along with Ctrl or Shift. 
But, once Alt is down, I can click away as much as I like, I just don't 
see anything no matter what.
