callback parameters

[Jeff Edwards <ecsi sprynet com>]

Could someone please explain to me why it is reasonable to connect
gtk_widget_destroy() to a button clicked signal, when
gtk_widget_destroy() takes only one parameter?

As far as I can tell by reading the GTK+ source code, the callbacks for
button clicked signals (and every signal, for that matter) _always_ get
called with at least two arguments. Won't calling a function that
expects only one argument potentially screw up the stack? Admittedly, it
seems of work OK in actual practive, but is it really legitimate?

Thanks,
Jeff Edwards
