The only signal you should connect to is "switch-page". If you take a 
closer look at the code you will see the other signals, 
"move_focus_out", "focus_tab", "select_page" and "change_current_page" 
are all key binding signals. Key binding signals are an implementation 
detail and are considered internal to GTK. You would only use them if 
you were implementing a new widget from scratch and wanted to add some 
form of keyboard naviagtion support to the new widget.
