I think that the "focus" event is only given to a widget that can have
keyboard focus -- a button, by default, probably can't get it.  And even if
it could get the focus, I don't know if moving a mouse over a widget gives
it the focus.   

Try these events: "leave_notify_event" and "enter_notify_event".   The event
generated in both cases is a GdkEventCrossing.  They are delivered to a
widget whenever the mouse pointer moves into or out of that widget's area.
