As far as I can tell, it is a windowmaker bug/misfeature. Windowmaker
apparently selects for ReparentNotify events on its clientwindows
and snatches them back when they are reparentd. I can't really see how
PlugSocket can get around this. 

Perhaps you should ask on the windowmaker mailing list?

As others have pointed out, you need gtk_widget_set_events().
