Thank you very much, not only for the info, but the speed .. That's done
the trick perfectly.

I'm still coming to terms with everything being an object .. I was
trying to add/remove things from the EventBox rather than just changing
the image's properties.

Thank you again .. and I shall certainly be investing time in tutorials
- I hate being this clueless.
