i think you're not understanding how something like the canvas
works. we (the application) doesn't track every mouse motion and
figure out where we are - the canvas generates enter/leave events for
us, along with many other events all bound to a particular canvas
item. we don't generally see any events until they are associated with
a canvas item, and that association relies on the canvas' own notion
of "close". 

essentially, canvas items function like simple widgets.
