As I've just mentioned in the bug report, I don't find it acceptable to
hard-code references to every widget's signals in libglademm (or
Gtk::Builder). Not only would that be a massive list for all of gtkmm's
objects, which we'd have to keep up-to-date, but that list could not
contain signals for objects/widgets that are not part of gtkmm, such as
gtksourceviewmm or libgnomedbmm.
