Re: GtkBuilder Public API - Last call

Hi,

I'm wondering if there is a reason why one cannot provide user_data
for gtk_builder_connect_signals? This data would be used as user_data
for each signal connected, except for those where a specific data widget
is defined in the glade-file. Currently the data used in signal connection
is either NULL or widget pointer specified in the .glade.

Of course one can use connect_full variant to achieve this, but that
also means that GModule-related code needs to be written into app.
