problem receiving button events

["zaheer ahmad" <zaheer mot gmail com>]

hi,
i have a sample gtk application that has a scrolled window and it contains a web page. the scroll window attaches signal handlers for the button press and release events

if i try to receive the events in the page by attaching to the signals, i do not have the desired behavior.. the events always go to the scroll window which returns a handled indication (TRUE).

- page is inside the container (scroll window), has its own window, has the event masks set - 
- if i change the scroll window code to return a FALSE, i receive the events in the page.. is there a way to forcefully alter the sequence i.e. make my signal handle run first.
- event i installed a default handler for the page, but still no help

appreciate any inputs.

thanks,
Zaheer
