#### Description [src]

The ::captured-event signal is emitted when an event is captured by Clutter. This signal will be emitted starting from the top-level container (the `ClutterStage`) to the actor which received the event going down the hierarchy. This signal can be used to intercept every event before the specialized events (like ClutterActor::button-press-event or ::key-released-event) are emitted.

Default handler: | The default handler is called after the handlers added via `g_signal_connect()`.
