Probably yes, because the "toggled" signal is emitted from the "clicked"
handler inside of gtktogglebutton.c, though why do you *need* to rely on
this behavior?

"toggled" is emitted whenever the "active" property changes (which may
happen as a result of user interaction or calls to
gtk_toggle_button_set_active/g_object_set), whereas "clicked" is only
emitted when the user actually clicks on a button (or, I think, uses
mnemonic shortcuts).
