CDE uses mwm (motif window manager) and gtk+, so far as i know,  
should play nicely with it.

At any rate, i can't imagine how this would be limited to gtk2-perl.

As well as filing a bug, try asking #gtk+ on irc.gnome.org or gtk-app- 
devel-list gnome org   They will probably ask things like "what  
version of gtk+ are you using?", "does this happen with older  
versions of gtk+?", "i don't like perl, can you demonstrate the  
problem with a small C program?" and "how does it behave with  
$other_window_manager?"

I think that's because it's up to how window managers interpret the  
ICCCM.
