Do you mean here?
https://developer.gnome.org/libsigc++-tutorial/unstable/

or here?
https://github.com/libsigcplusplus/libsigcplusplus/tree/master/examples

or both?

What do you think should be shown in an example?

Most uses of libsigc++ should be quite simple, and I'm a little afraid
of making it seem otherwise.

Being a header-only library could have its uses, but it would have some
downsides:

- That code in the .cc files can currently be changed without breaking
ABI. But once it is in the headers, we need to be very careful about
compatibility between different libraries compiled against different
minor versions of libsigc++.
- Even longer compile times (maybe not significant in this case).
