In the Glade section you say that "the callback functions must be within
a package namespace" and you use "package main;" in the examples. 
That's not necessary: if you don't specify otherwise, "main" is
automatically used as the default package.

In example three you use

  while (Glib::MainContext->default->iteration(FALSE)) {
  }

You use that construct in all examples, but I think the standard way to
process events is

  while (Gtk2->events_pending) {
    Gtk2->main_iteration;
  }

or, more Perlish:

  Gtk2->main_iteration while (Gtk2->events_pending);

Other than that, I think the tutorial is cool.  Nice work!
