A gtk.Label does not have a gdk window (as in the windowing system of gtk+), so it cannot listen to events. A workaround is to put it in an eventbox: eventbox = gtk.EventBox() eventbox.set_events(gtk.gdk.BUTTON_PRESS_MASK) eventbox.connect('button-press-event', callback) label = gtk.Label() eventbox.add(label) notebook.append_page(..., eventbox) Perhaps you should subscribe to the PyGTK mailing list[1] though, where this kind of question is more appropriately asked [1]: http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Johan Dahlin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
