Well, actually swapped handlers are supported, using the object attribute, eg:

  <object class="GtkButton" id="button"/>
  <object class="GtkEntry" id="entry">
    <signal name="activate" handler="button_clicked" object="button"/>
  </object>

I thought there were other flags apart from after and swapped, so this is
not true, right?
