There's another thing I don't understand about the EventTarget interface exposed in the GObject bindings. The interface is defined as:

void addEventListener(DOMString type, 
                          EventListener listener, 
                          optional boolean useCapture);
void removeEventListener(DOMString type, 
                             EventListener listener, 
                             optional boolean useCapture);
[RaisesException] boolean dispatchEvent(Event event);

And we do exactly the opposite wrt to the return values, we return a boolean from add/remove_event_listener and void in dispatch_event. But then, we expose dispatch_event as public API in objects implementing the EventTarget interface returning a boolean. I thought about deprecating all the public dispatch_event in favor of using the interface, but those public methods are the only way to get the return value of dispatchEvent.
