These aren't a huge problem since signal ID's are allocated 
sequentially, so you need 2^32 connections before you have a problem.

But I would consider them bugs. Hard to fix bugs, if there are 'guint'
fields in public structures.

If you could file a single bug report with all the occurrences
of the problem, that would be great.
