Indeed it doesnt, the autoconnect is only capable of passing alternate
objects in (it does g_signal_connect_object() and uses SWAPPED flag),
only when an object is specified for that handler (in the Glade tool, this
will look confusing, we never finished improving that on our side).

But, there is another libglade function to call for signal connections,
I think its glade_signal_connect(), but I'm sure you'll find it in the
headers.

what it does is connects a signal to an object in the glade file by
widget name (basically just a convenience api for g_signal_connect()),
it should be a good alternative for you.
