Regarding documentation - the painful truth is you'll have to read the
original gtk2 documentation (for "C", not for Perl) in order to understand
what it's all about.

The even more painful truth is that the original documentation is not 
always clear.

...

"Glib built for 2.16.4, running with 2.16.5" apparently means that you have
version mismatch - Perl Glib was originally built based on "C" glib-2.16.4,
but now your system has "C" glib-2.16.5.
