Just fixed default value state

(Just something I noticed while looking at the patch:

from EmbedEventListener:

static PRInt32 sLongPressTimer = 0
[...]
#if 1
     if (sLongPressTimer)
       g_source_remove(sLongPressTimer);
 #else  
[...]
  sLongPressTimer = g_timeout_add(mLongMPressDelay, sLongMPress, mOwner->mOwningWidget);

First, g_timeout_add returns |guint|, NOT (signed) |int32|.
Second, sLongPressTimer isn't restored to 0 after g_source_remove.)

Probably we need to create some macro...
like:
#define GLIB_SOURCE_REMOVE(source) \
  PR_BEGIN_MACRO \
    if (source) { \
      g_source_remove(source); \
      source = 0; \
    } \
  PR_END_MACRO

And this stuff will be in branch very soon.

assuming I'm understanding this code correctly, please rename return_val to handled.

Embedding: GTK Widget isn't a thing, closing.
