Yes.  The mouse events fire when the cursor is over an exposed portion 
of the window, but in the case of the FlatNotebook there is no part of 
it that is exposed.  The page windows cover all except for the tabs, and 
the tabs area is implemented by another sub window (the PageContainer 
class) so there is nothing left of the FlatNotebook that can even see 
the mouse.
