The function is missing a notification argument to free the closure,
so it cannot be wrapped correctly.

You would need a new function that takes a GDestroyNotify argument, but…

… since the function has been deprecated, a new one that just adds an
argument won't be added.

The key snooping API was added for some accessibility technologies; if
you need to handle key events, you should use the event-related
signals on the appropriate GTK widget.
