yes tracking of widget names in glade is currently hairy and should be
fixed (note bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=442860 is
also a symptom of this).

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=385664 suggests that
that signal handlers should be pasted along with copies of widgets,
although this would surely mean lots of unwanted side effects (i.e.
signal handlers unexpectedly getting called for multiple widgets).

what we need here is a real thorough fix, not a slight change
in the current behavior.
