Sets the device event mask (see #GdkEventMask) for a widget. The event
mask determines which events a widget will receive from @device. Keep
in mind that different widgets have different default event masks, and by
changing the event mask you may disrupt a widget’s functionality,
so be careful. This function must be called while a widget is
unrealized. Consider gtk_widget_add_device_events() for widgets that are
already realized, or if you want to preserve the existing event
mask. This function can’t be used with windowless widgets (which return
%FALSE from gtk_widget_get_has_window());
to get events on those widgets, place them inside a #GtkEventBox
and receive events on the event box.
