This sounds like one of those times you have to add events you want
your drawing area to receive, it doesn't get them all by default.  The
only example I can think of right now is list.cs in the monodoc
sources.

AddEvents ((int) EventMask.ButtonPressMask | (int)
EventMask.ButtonReleaseMask | (int) EventMask.KeyPressMask | (int)
EventMask.PointerMotionMask);
