Unless you want to do something like link three dials and two sliders
in different locations to the same adjustment (i.e. move one and they
all move) or some other UI tomfoolery.

All the "changed_value" signals hang off the adjustment -- there just
happen to be multiple UI items connected to it that can manipulate its
value.

This is assuming I understand ranges and adjustments properly.  I'm
sure someone will correct me if I don't.
