Not entirely sure what I was trying to achieve here:
self.button1.connect("enter", self.button1.enter)

I think I was connecting the signal "enter" to the method enter()
which makes no real sense.

To get a message to appear in the status bar I instead did the following:

        .......
        self.button1 = self.wTree.get_widget("button1")
        if (self.button1):
            #self.button1.connect("enter", self.button1.enter)
            self.button1.connect("enter", self.statusMessage)

    def statusMessage(self, widget):
        self.statusbar1.push(1, "Button Entered")

Then when I moved the mouse over the button - voila - message in status bar.
