Many of us would consider that a complement.

Yep, it's a bog-standard OOP language.  The killer feature is its tight 
integration with GObject.

I'm pretty sure both Vala and C are Turing-complete. :)

It sounds like you're looking for Gtk.Builder.connect_signals() [1].  
It exists, but not in the gtkmm bindings.  This suggests to me that the 
problem is C++, not GTK.  There is a bug report [2], though, so jump in 
and get it fixed.
