Well, maybe mixing connect_notify with signals returning a value (x
events return bool) is doing something wrong, since connect_notify
connects a signal to a signal handler without a return value. I would
try writing:
notebook.signal_configure_event().
    connect(sigc::mem_fun(*this, &EditorWin::on_my_configure_event),
false);
where EditorWin::on_my_configure_event has a prototype:

bool EditorWin::on_my_configure_event(GdkEventConfigure*
configure_event);

which return true on success or false otherwise.

But this is blindshooting, because I don't know signal internals very
well, but it's worth trying. :)
