No it isn't.  Pass null as the first argument to GLib.Module.open.  From
the documentation:

        the name of the file containing the module, or NULL to obtain a
        GModule representing the main program itself.

Sorry, I guess I should have been a bit more verbose in my initial
message.

g_module_symbol is what GtkBuilder uses.
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/tree/gtk/gtkbuilder.c#n1574

It's also in the documentation: "By default, GTK+ tries to find the
handler using g_module_symbol(), but this can be changed by passing a
custom GtkBuilderConnectFunc to gtk_builder_connect_signals_full()."
