though you're absolutely correct regarding object behaviour, there is a way
to find out whether handlers are pending for a signal, we added some
time ago to spare GtkXmHTML some expensive rerendering if there wasn't
a handler pending:

guint  gtk_signal_handler_pending         (GtkObject           *object,
                                           guint                signal_id,
                                           gboolean             may_be_blocked);
