Object is the name of the object in the glade file (i.e. every
widget in glade has a 'name' property).

The really confusing thing, is that using the 'object' field automatically
swaps the signal (i.e. 'object' now becomes the first paramater and
the original emitter comes last in the 'user_data' argument slot).
