   Yes.  Specifically the problem is that if you use '==', then the
match won't work if you have any other modifier keys active, including
NumLock.  Which could be why it seemed to work before but not now.  So
you need to check only those state bits that you require.  If you need
to match Control but not Shift, for example, then it would be something
like:
 (event.state & (gtk.gdk.CONTROL_MASK|gtk.gdk.SHIFT_MASK)) ==
   gtk.gdk.CONTROLMASK
