Dredging up one of my first posts on the list :) because I'm still
having this problem and I'm feeling the urge to figure something out
about it.  I've attached some code to demonstrate the problem.  Only
the middle line of the 5-line label will 'activate' the expander.  I
feel like GTK+ should activate it over the entire rectangle it
occupies, but short of that, is it possible to work around that?

Again, I'm talking about highlighting *and* making it clickable;
they're one and the same.

Cheers,
Andrew
