hadn't looked at that function yet. it's now implemented as you suggest,
pretty much how gtk-perl did it. to get the changes cvs up.

hopefully the updates you got addressed your issues with signals.

that only outstanding issue on the signal handling front is when
signal_connect_object is used. i'm not sure how to handle those
situations since signal_connect_object isn't in Glib, and maybe
rightfully so. it's going to take some thinking, which i'm not in the
mood to do at the moment.

other than that there's the custom widget stuff that seems to be halfway
implemented in gtk-perl. there's some code in it in xs, but i'm not sure
that it makes it through to perl in any usable way. anyone with thoughts
on this please share them. does anyone use glade2 with custom widgets?
should custom widget stuff even be attempted?
