The general approach to this situation is to pack a label into an
EventBox, and then set the events that you want to be able to handle
on the EventBox.  I'm not sure exactly how this will compare
performance-wise to using Entries, but I imagine that if you only
enable the events that you are interested in, (e.g. set_events()), it
may be faster.
