i removed `introspection="0"` from
add_event_handler/remove_event_handler, rebuilt the typelib, then
tried:

someDOMEelement.add_event_listener('mouseover', somefunc, 1, self)

... which of course failed, but i had to see it work!  to lift my
spirits!  it failed with:

** ERROR **: Invalid scope reached inside Callback.  Possibly a bad annotation?
Trace/breakpoint trap

... a seemingly appropriate error considering my manual adjustments.
i'm pretty green to the introspection scene, but have followed Webkit
progress on it since the beginning ...

****is it currently possible to use
add_event_handler/remove_event_handler from Python?****

the add/remove handlers are missing from all the EventTargets, but
available on EventTargetIface, and everything i read suggests i'm
simply using it incorrectly, esp. considering the change from signals
was almost 1yr ago:
https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-gtk/2011-March/000450.html

i've spent 3 full nights at this point -- if it's incredibly obvious,
i'm totally oblivious ... but i'll continue anyway. if this is not
currently possible, i would absolutely love to hear this as well, so i
can end the madness (though i really really hope there is a solution
;-)

thanks much for your time,
