key_release_event problem

[David Sundqvist <azzie netpolicy com>]

In a project I'm working on I'm trying to install a signal handler for a
key_release_event. However, the signal handler didnt get called when a key
was released, so I've compiled gtk with debug options turned on. The
output from a simple test program appears to show that events for
keypresses are generated correctly, but it seems that there are no key
release events generated. Am I missing something, or is there a bug here?

Best regards,

Output generated from gdk in debug mode in a simple test program:

key press:      window: 104857606  key:    Control_L  65507
key press:      window: 104857606  key:      Shift_L  65505
key press:      window: 104857606  key:    Control_L  65507
key press:      window: 104857606  key:      Shift_L  65505

Trying something similar with xev it outputs events for both the press and
the release:
