So you skipped sstep #4 in comment #4, right?
Something interesting:
The working script in comment #5 has the following properties:
The process that starts X server (Xvnc) also exports display and runs the
application and the Dogtail script. All sub-processes have the same parent.

In the non working reproducer X has already been started from init, and the
Dogtail script is started from another terminal. I think they don't have the
same parent.

Not sure if that helps or is relevant. I'm not a GTK guy so that's pretty much
what I can do.
