I haven't done much with GtkUIManager, so I'm not sure either.  At which 
point in the code did you try calling connect_proxy()?  I think it needs 
to be done before $ui->get_widget or maybe even before 
$ui->insert_action_group.  Do you have a small but complete example that 
demonstrates your problem?

That's because the bindings don't wrap GtkActivatable yet, 
unfortunately.  Any volunteers?
