That's not an event, it's a state. You can get the state with
gdk_window_get_pointer().

g_idle_add_full() at G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT probably does that. But it
also causes infinite iterations.

Maybe you could implement a custom GSource that did something like
that. If nothing else you could just do things in your prepare/check
functions instead of in the dispatch.
