Are you sure this is what you want to do?  Your program shouldn't
need to artificially manufacture the motion notify event.  When
you move the mouse across your application window, GDK (through
X) will generate this event for you.  Your application only has
to watch for it (via a callback).  Don't worry about triggering
the event.  Just worry about catching it.
