Things aren't quite this simple, as some signals also have different
arguments (the clist "select_row" signal, for example). In an effort to
clear things up a bit I have written a section on Events for the Tutorial
and will try and clarify the fact that not all signals take the same
arguments. I think that moving away from saying that signal callbacks are
defined like this and event callbacks are defined like that will help
to clear things up.
