Aren't there two separate issue here?  Using gio channels is a way to  
deal with communicating with the COM channel.

However, that is separate from knowing that the button has been pushed,  
so you can then start the communications.  For this, is there any  
reason to use a custom signal?  Wouldn't it be easier to catch the  
standard signal emitted when a button is pushed, by attaching a  
call-back routine?
