Hi, yes I agree. Nobody has asked for this in the past and I have never
even needed to use a signal handler connection ID for anything. 

I have added a user option to generate the code that I described in a
previous email (also catering for connection 'after') and that  will 
appear in Glade-Perl-0.60 but I don't think that anyone will ever really 
need to use it. In any case, it is pretty horrible since you need to 
specify the form, widget, signal and whether it is connected normally or
after.

I am sure that it is better to store specific signal connections when it
is absolutely necessary rather than provide a generic mechanism for _all_ 
signals connected.
