My guess is that you aren't propagating is_hint correctly when
passing the event to ruler->motion_notify. If is_hint isn't set,
the callback won't call gtk_widget_pointer_get, and no further
motion events will be sent.

(More drastically, I get a segfault when I try the ruler test with
Gtk-0.1.9 - I suspect because of reference counting on GdkWindows, but
perhaps you have fixed that since then.)
