Like one pair of functions (basically) to set/get values on an object, this is
another area where Xt was designed correctly IMHO.  In Xt, all callbacks have
the same 4 parameters.  In GTK terms the prototype would be:

  void (*callback)(GtkWidget *widget, GdkEvent *event,
                   gpointer call_data, gpointer client_data);

While coding, I find it convenient to have exactly the parameters I need for
callbacks, but I have a hard time remembering the parameters required for the
different callbacks.  Even in my own widgets.
