Re: GTK Documentation error

[Ruben Safir Secretary NYLXS <ruben mrbrklyn com>]

Yes

I just reread it.  I was mixing up the callback function and the signal
caller!  That what I get for reading documentation at 3:30AM


Let me ask a more coherent question.

What is the difference between an event like 'button_press_event' and a
signal like 'clicked'?  If the events are unions, why is the tutorial
listing all the second union members?  Are they used in programming or
just utilized internally in gtk_main?
