the behavior of those functions were changed in gtk+ (c) version 2.4.
starting with Gtk2 (perl) version 1.080 that change was bound and faked
out for older versions of gtk+. the docs on the website are for version
1.080 of the Gtk2 bindings and thus show the integer return type, but if
you have an older version that facility will not be supported.

have a look here for the related changes:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/gtk2-perl/gtk2-perl-xs/Gtk2/xs/GtkNotebook.xs?rev=1.14&view=log

i'm going to add some pod doc on this subject to the affected functions.
to avoid future confusion.
