  Hello,

  thank you very much for the tips :

  That is not the problem : I checked with "xev" (which prints the X
  EVents that reach a little window) that "KeyRelease" events do
  occur.

  That sounded like some foreign language at first; but by looking
into the test program that comes with the perl bindings, in the
gtk-tut and after a few tries, I managed to bind the KeyRelease
events.

  Those interested may do 

   $window->set_events( [@{$window->get_events}, 'key_release_mask']);  
   realize $window; 

it seems that "set_events" must be called before doing "show $window".
