AFAIK GTK+ 1.2 also has that event. So it should work if it was reimplemented
in the same fashion as it is in GTK+ 2.x.
The reason why the GTK+ 1.2 client is like that today is due to mere
historical reasons. The GTK+ 1.2 code was written based on the Xaw client,
which implemented it in this horrible way.

There still remain some kludges I dislike hooked up to the expose handler
like the intro graphics handling, but I never got around to doing those
properly.
