Is this not working
(I mean besides the fact that GTK_OBJECT should be G_OBJECT and
gtk_signal_* should be g_signal_* and that `gpointer' is actualy
a type and not a function and that you got a parse error in your
call to `gtk_signal_connect'; missing closing parenthasis) ?

If the user_data argument for this signal has been removed
(or never existed); which I doubt is the case (almost all
event signals if not all of them; provide a user_data arg);
You can consider using:
    `g_object_set_data(G_OBJECT(glarea), "id", (gpointer)id)'
and
    `id = g_object_get_data(G_OBJECT(glarea), "id")'
