gtk.GtkStyleHelper is not in the .gir, but is a PyGtk-specific 
construct. So if we really want to remain compatible with PyGtk, we'll 
need to write an override.

So, we have three problems with events: 1) accessing struct members 
directly from the enclosing union, 2) having a distinct wrapper for each 
enclosed struct, 3) marshalling the right specific wrapper into python

For now, I personally would go with the override that Steve proposes 
which addresses 1) for the specific case of GdkEvent.

This will be a great contribution.
