I'd like to hear some feedback on Gtk2::Builder from people who use
Gtk2::GladeXML.  The new API is roughly:

  $builder = Gtk2::Builder->new

followed by either

  $builder->add_from_file ($file)

or

  $builder->add_from_string ($buffer).

As for connecting signals, just as in Gtk2::GladeXML, you have three
options:

  $builder->connect_signals ($user_data)
   When invoked like this, Gtk2::Builder will connect signals to
   functions in the main package whose names are specified in the
   UI description.

 $builder->connect_signals ($user_data, $package)
   When invoked like this, Gtk2::Builder will connect signals to
   functions in the package $package.

 $builder->connect_signals ($user_data, %handlers)
   When invoked like this, %handlers is used as a mapping from
   handler names to code references.

Does this make sense?  Is this how you'd expect the API to work?  Is the
heavy overloading of connect_signals() too confusing?  Do you have any
other suggestions?
