OK, I see what you mean now. It's ugly, though - it makes a lot of unnecessary work, mapping every callback manually. The whole point of signal_autoconnect() is supposed to be that you don't need to do that. From source: /* * use gmodule to connect signals automatically. Basically a symbol with * the name of the signal handler is searched for, and that is connected to * the associated symbols.

void       glade_xml_signal_autoconnect  (GladeXML *self);

I _know_ what signal_autoconnect() is supposed to be. If you notice, the argument to the function in PHP-GTK is optional. If you don't specify it, then signal_autoconnect() looks in the function table to find the callbacks. The argument is mainly so you can remap certain handlers to specific function calls that are named different and/or pass custom user data.

I'll see if I can find a nicer way around it than we had in PHP-GTK 1 and keep to the spirit of the original. The marshal appears to allow user data to be passed, but I need to figure out how user data is specified in Glade.

I don't think it will be possible. A lot of times the user data is dynamic, depending on what happened in the script before that, and Glade pretty much lets you specify only static data. -Andrei
