[gtkmm] Event signals should connect _before_?

[Murray Cumming Comneon com]

What do people think of this idea?

(Please see the dependent bugs for actual examples of the problem.)

I am beginning to suspect that every single X-event signal handler
( http://www.gtkmm.org/gtkmm2/docs/tutorial/html/apbs06.html )
should connect before (or connect_notify) in order to actually work.

I would like to hear about examples where this would not "just work". If I
don't hear of any examples then I might release a gtkmm 2.3.x version with
it and see if it breaks your applications. Not that many of you are using
gtkmm 2.3 with your applications now.
