Event Handling

[James Muir <hemlock vtlink net>]

Hello All,

I'm having some success with gtk2-perl. I'm liking how this software 
works. :-)

I have a question about events. I have some sample code that I took from 
one of the examples that hooks up an event handler to a 
Gnome2::Canvas::Rect as follows:

$rect->signal_connect (event=>&rectevent);

and then later there's the handler code:

sub rectevent
{
   warn("event: " . $event->type . "/n");
}

Nice, but this handler will receive all events. Is there a way to 
indicate to Gnome that my program is only interested in, say,  
"button-press"  events and to call my handler
only for "button-press" events. Or do I have to handle all possible 
events in my handler?
