You could connect a function to the "button-release-event" signal of
pixmap, which it inherits from GtkWidget.
gboolean button_release_cb (GtkWidget *widget,
GdkEventButton *event,
gpointer user_data);
...
g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT (pixmap),
"button-release-event",
G_CALLBACK (button_release_cb),
NULL);
...
Alternatively, you could probably manage to pack the pixmap into a
button, and then set the properties of that button to make it not add
spacing, relief, or anything else. The properties "border-width" and
"relief" come to mind, though you might need more.
In the end, the button approach is probably better, because you'll
actually get a "clicked" signal, rather than having to figure out in
your code whether or not a button release is a click. And you'll get
keyboard navigation.
Or, of course, you could always just not make such an interface.
They're basically always sub-optimal from any viewpoint other than
eye-candy.
