Deprecated methods should not raise an exception. Deprecated methods shouldn't stop working because they're deprecated.

Indeed Ruby GTK3 bindings do not offer undocumented
gdk_event_get_device() for key events, and using deprecated
window.get_pointer() raises an exception.

So my current solution is: I already have motion notify events for my
drawing area, so for each such event I make a copy of event.x and
event.y data and use that value for next key event. Seems to work, at
least my program works again as with GTK2. Maybe I should additional
store the x, y values for each enter_notify event, otherwise coordinates
may be invalid at the border of the drawing area when mouse pointer is
coming from outside.

I will indeed consider filing a bug report.
