Yes, I was thinking about this issue a few weeks back. (It affects Glade
as well, as Glade likes to output decent names for signal arguments.) 

In GTK+ 1.2 we didn't have types for everything, so a lot of arguments
would have just been output as 'gpointer' or something similar. That's
why I added the types. But we shouldn't need them for 2.0.
