C example showing problem

While trying to debug a potentially Python specific bug with GtkStatusIcon scroll-events (bug 693664), I found it does not emit scroll events in GNOME Shell.

I'm not sure how specific this is to GNOME Shell, but I know it at least partially worked in unity with pygobject.

Attached is a C example which creates a blank status icon with a scroll-event connected. The callback does not get called when the scroll wheel is used over the status icon.
