This is different to the python way, but never mind... I haven't used
configure in C in a couple of years.

I've added Gdk.EventMask.STRUCTURE_MASK to my event mask and I'm still
not receiving the configure event, I also tried adding a
Gdk.EventMask.SUBSTRUCTUREMASK too and nothing...

I suppose I'm going to have to go to #gtk+ and see what they have to
say... I think picking up the event in a widget is quite a bit different
to picking it up from the window itself...
