Infact there is no need for a custom signal once you know about GIOChannel.
But my question was intended for general cases. If I need to trigger a 
complicated task when a button is pushed I'll write a callback to manage 
the standard signal in which I'll start my $COMPLEX_PROCESS then return.
The question was about how to write $COMPLEX_PROCESS: it doesn't involve 
GUI so it doesn't have any standard signal, but I'd like to have the 
signal-callback paradigm and I was wondering if GTK gives me some tool 
or if I have to rely on an external infrastructure for it.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something: remember, I'm really new in this 
world and my questions could and probably are stupid...
