Leslie Polzer pointed out to me that it's not plain stupid. But it can 
be improved. And then there's still the large amount of missing 
documentation.

I'd love too. But I don't think I can do much about the missing 
documentation. I just don't know gtkmm's internals well enough to be 
writing documentation for it. Maybe in the future though...

On the other hand, there is one thing I'd like to see patched that is 
probably within my abilities. The wording:

Returns:
    A ... proxy; you want to use ...::connect().

Should IMHO be changed to something like:

Returns:
    A ... proxy. For more information, see: ...::connect().

Thanks.
