The plan has been to use the '_' prefix to control the export
of signals from libraries eventually.

If the function is public enough to use in GTK+, then it should
not get the underscore prefix.

To put it a different way, we should be able to change 
the prototype for any function with the '_' in a stable
release, and not break compatibility. 

If people implementing new non-GObjects with signals need
to use g_signal_handlers destroy, then it isn't prvate
in this sense.
