Okay, that was my inclination, and, on looking at the python I was
basing my code on, that's what was *supposed* to happen, anyways. What
confused the issue was that author's using 'plug.socket' to connect to a
GDK window object (I feel he should have used a different name for the
object than 'socket'!).

So, I've made the requisite changes, and can connect now. However, I
have a new problem. Via many abstractions, a Gtk2::Plug is a
Gtk2::Window, and as such should have a 'connect' method (to connect to
signals). So, the following *should* work, right? 

    $plug->connect('destroy', <ref to some method/sub>);

But it doesn't. Should the method be 'signal_connect' instead?
