Only top level windows receive configure events.  They do not
propagate to the window's children, at least not directly. The top
level window may, of course, start a resize or some other process that
will end up emitting various related signals for the children. But a
configure event has no meaning unless the widget is a top level window
of the backend window system (X11, Quartz, win32 etc).
