Still seeing this in latest git (following instructions on BuildFromSource wiki 
page) as of today, 17-August-2011.

Please refer to InstallGnome3. The requirement on Vala has bumped to 0.12.

BuildFromSource is deprecated.

Thanks.

I am at Vala 0.13, getting same errors.

Is Gnome3 required?  I am using Gnome 2.28.2 on Centos 6.0

I see. I forgot to merge the gnome3 branch to the master. The gnome3 branch 
needs GnomeShell and GTK 3 to compile. but the master doesn't.

Looking into the line of code giving us trouble, the pointer conversion is 
quite problematic in vala.

Would you put a (X.Event*) before the pointer &event, see if it helps? My 
memory says it worked with some previous versions of vala, then stopped working 
at a point when I had to remove the type-cast. Probably with new valas the cast 
is required again.
