There are some differences in GtkWidget in gtk_widget_add_events() and others,
but i didn't see anything terribly relevant.

Yes, it sucks.  And you have a poser here...  I asked about it in #gtk+ and
got the same incredulous response i initially had myself.  ;-)  I ported the
sample to C and verified that your code behaves the same in C as in Perl, so
it's not a binding bug --- there's just something not right in how the code is
behaving.
