Yep, that line's an indicator of the problem: the "group" parameter has 
incomplete type information.  This was fixed only very recently: 
<http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/commit/?id=261d2d96e3febb68fbc7b1f774674f6ffe9c703a>. 
 Only gtk+ >= 3.5.4 contains this fix.  Do you have the possibility to 
run against such a version of gtk+ (for example by using jhbuild)?
