For this sort of thing, you are probably more interested in keyboard
focus, rather than mouse focus. enter/leave notify events get triggered
as the mouse pointer crosses window boundaries.
If you want to know when the keyboard focus enters or leaves a widget
(which is a different thing), use focus_in_event and focus_out_event.
