This change made the trick:

g_io_add_watch(ch, (GIOCondition) G_IO_IN|G_IO_HUP, cbk, NULL);


I filed a bug about this behaviour, 575806, I just replied here to
tell that with G_IO_HUP in the callback also the classic logic

if recv(fd) == 0 then IS DISCONNECT

works.

Why? The only real problem was the fact the cbk was void.

GIOChannel API give the user a g_io_channel_unix_get_fd() call, so I
suppose it should be supported handling the channel yourself. This is
a very important feature since there are a few network toolkit that
can be made interoperable with GTK through this feature.
