Labels have no window of their own; they paint text on their parent
window.  Therefore, the label cannot receive mouse events, since there
is no window on which to capture such events.

You can fix this by wrapping the Label widget in an EventBox widget.
Then attach your handler to the EventBox instead of the Label.
