As I said before I'm not used to the python bindings, but I'm glad
this works for you.

I suppose that what you are creating is a hildon-home applet with a
gtk entry.

The hildon desktop and hildon-home are special applications, and
manage by himself several events, and it only re-sent some of them to
the plugins placed on the hildon-home.

For example, if you create a applet on the hildon-desktop/hildon-home,
you could place a pannable area inside, but you can't interact with it
like in a application, because this movements are directly managed by
the hildon-desktop, in order to change between desktops. So in the end
a pannable area on a applet is useless.

Take as example the RSS applet. It shows several RSS feeds, but in
order to scroll, it was required to add some scrolling buttons,
instead of put a pannable area.

Anyway, about the hildon-desktop and hildon-home applets, Kimmo
Hamalainen and Jan Arne Petersen have more information.
