GTK problem

[Trever Adams <arabian onramp net>]

Below is a segment of code that seems like the hard way of doing
something.  Notice the strings "changed" "clicked" and "value_changed"
in this code fragment and your own code.  Why do we use strings instead
of constants/defines?  It takes more to compare strings than constants.
Is there a good reason to do it this way instead?

        gtk_signal_connect(GTK_OBJECT(sdata[i]), "value_changed",
                           GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC(update_sliders), NULL);
        gtk_signal_connect(GTK_OBJECT(entry[i]), "changed",
                           GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC(update_labels), NULL);
