You need to add key-release-event to the list
of events that gtk is monitoring, by default only
key-press-event is checked, for performance reasons.

look for something as this (gtk1.2):

gtk_widget_set_events (GTK_WIDGET (gl_area), GDK_EXPOSURE_MASK |
GDK_BUTTON_PRESS_MASK | GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE_MASK |
GDK_POINTER_MOTION_MASK | GDK_POINTER_MOTION_HINT_MASK |
GDK_KEY_PRESS_MASK | GDK_KEY_RELEASE_MASK);
