I used the following test code and had no problems, but I am using
a couple day old version of gtk-perl-xs.  I will fetch the latest
and try again

use Gtk2;
use Gnome2;
use strict;

use constant VERSION => '0.1';

Gtk2->init;

Gnome2::Program->init('test', '0.1', 'libgnomeui');

my $w = Gtk2::Window->new('toplevel');
my $b = Gtk2::Button->new('About');
$b->signal_connect(
        'clicked',
        sub {
                Gnome2::About->new(
                        'debGTK',
                        VERSION,
                        '(c) 2003 by Szilveszter Farkas (Phanatic)',
                        'a user-friendly frontend for dh_make and debchange',
                        'Szilveszter Farkas (Phanatic) <linux\ psoftwares hu>'
                )->show;
        }
);
$w->add($b);
$w->show_all;

Gtk2->main;
