Yep, you can put the glade data in a __DATA__ section and load it
with:
$glade = new_from_memory Gtk::GladeXML(join("",<DATA>));

(this requires a fix I just committed to cvs).

You can get the adjustment from a Gtk::ScrolledWindow, for example,
and set the new value in it.
Guessing the new value to use is the tricky part....

I don't undesrtand: can't you hide it in the handler?

This code:
$canvas->style->bg('normal', $canvas->style->black);
is wrong, because it changes the style for many widgets (the style is
shared): you have to copy it instead:

$newstyle = $canvas->style->copy;
$newstyle->bg('normal', $canvas->style->black);
$canvas->set_style($newstyle);
