Re: Equivalent to Xt translation manager (XtAppAddActions() etc.)?

[Roel Vanhout <roel riks nl>]

I think he's trying to ask if there is a way in gtkmm to fire an event 
when a certain sequence of keypresses, mousemovements and mouseclicks is 
done by the user. AFAIK the answer to that is 'no'.

cheers,
