In the API reference it says:

"The instance on which the signal is emitted and data will be swapped
when calling the handler."

Hmmm... it seems to mean that the callback will be called like this:

c_handler(G_OBJECT(data), detail, (gpointer) instance);
	instead of
c_handler(G_OBJECT(instance), detail, (gpointer) data);

(I guess where detail is often something like GdkEvent)

	I can't think of a practical reason for having such a
function but if its there; theres a good chance that its
usefull for something ;-)
