RE: GtkSwitch — lack of specific signal

[John Lumby <johnlumby hotmail com>]

Ahhhh!     Thank you Tadej.    No,   mine had only two parameters,  the obj ptr and the data ptr.I added the 
paramspec in between and now all works perfectly.
By the way  -  this seems a bit unpleasant,  that some callbacks have a prototype of (objptr, dataptr) and 
others have (objptr,  paramspec, dataptr).How would I know which one to use?     Is it that some are in the 
gtk layer (2 params) but other like notify::active are in the gdk layer (3 params)?And I kind of feel 
something should have alerted me although I don't know what  -  I guess the compiler doesn't know.
I suppose this is all described somewhere  -  where?    (I am new to gtk application programming).
Cheers,   John
