The events used to communicate data describing the internal details of activities that occur to or between GDK resources.

C side, GdkEvent is a union of various event structs such as GdkEventExpose and GdkEventKey. Each struct in this family starts with the same fields, and these fields are represented by GdkEventAny. We have exposed those fields here on Event.
