Ok, I downloaded libglademm-0.2.1 and read the sources, but the method
used to autoconnect is very different that we are talking already.

Basically, the autoconnect function does a search of a C (not C++)
symbol if the callback given in the XML file is prefixed by a
given string.

If not, a new entry in a map<string,signal_handler> is created, with
a proxy function that can be called by Gtk+ C code and calls back
to a sigc++ slot.

The idea is that the user have to fill this map, connecting each
of the signals stored in it to the correct handler, at runtime,
see the doc's in xml.h:

  // The 'signal_name' parameter is a free-form string, which matches the
  // callback set in the *.glade file.  Thus the string and callback names
  // do not need to match, and you can tie multiple "callbacks" to the
  // same function.
  xml.signal( "other_callback_name" ).full.connect( slot(my_full_callback) );

So, there is no marshalling in the code :-(

(perhaps you were reffering to other sources, then please hint me).
