I've managed to get it all working ! I've used an Image inside an eventBox and used the motion notify event. The trick was to add the Events in the Common tab of the Glade property editor. Those where the MASK's you where talking about. Anyway, now it works just fine :) Thx for the information and for pushing me into the right direction :)
