Constants for callback, event names?

[smolitor insight-tech com (Stephen Molitor)]

This is a newbie question.

Are there any constants defined for callback, event names, etc?

In other words, instead of :

gtk_signal_connect(GTK_OBJECT(my_widget), "desrtoy"); // whoops! run time
error!

something like this:

const char* DESTROY; // defined somewhere

gtk_signal_connect(GTK_OBJECT(my_widget), DESRTOY); // compile time error
