RE: [gtkmm] Mouse problems

I am confused; I thought the root widget would have to be a window, and surely the root window can receive mouse events? Besides, Gtk::Window is derived from Gtk::Widget, so if a widget can do it, surely a window can also.

This looks strange. The base class of your MainWindow class is Gtk::Window,
not Gtk::Widget. It might not be a problem though.
