Sidenote: you can set GTK_DEBUG in your environment, to see in which
configuration file the 'gtk-primary-button-warps-slider' setting comes
from?

I have not narroved it down, but I can reproduce similar Gtk-Messages
by putting properties with gboolean values in a configuration file,
say

gtk-primary-button-warps-slider = false

or

gtk-primary-button-warps-slider = true

in ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and run the sample simple_menu.pl:

$ perl simple_menu.pl 
Gtk-Message **: (for origin information, set GTK_DEBUG): failed to retrieve property `gtk-primary-button-warps-slider' of type `gboolean' from rc file value "((GString*) 0x559455dcff20)" of type `gboolean' at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.24/Gtk2/SimpleMenu.pm line 26.
Callback:
$VAR1 = 'user data';
$VAR2 = 9;
$VAR3 = bless( {}, 'Gtk2::RadioMenuItem' );
Callback:
$VAR1 = 'user data';
$VAR2 = 10;
$VAR3 = bless( {}, 'Gtk2::RadioMenuItem' );

Needs closer investigation though.
