I marked the function as (skip) because AFAIK current version of 
gobject-introspection really can't handle it; the reason is that this 
function shares single user_data field for 2 closures (get_func and 
clear_func), and this is not supported.

In order to be supported by current introspection, a new function would 
have to be added into GTK, which has one user_data for each callback.

An alternate solution is to provide some 'manual binding', i.e. binding 
this function directly, not through introspection.  Sorry, I'm not 
involved with python so I'm not sure how it works.  Maybe asking at 
irc://irc.gnome.org/python could help?

Sorry that I cannot be more helpful,
Pavel
