Something like signal_autoconnect_from_package($obj); ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steph Fox" <steph@zend.com> To: "Andrei Zmievski" <andrei@gravitonic.com> Cc: "PHP-GTK dev" <php-gtk-dev@lists.php.net> Sent: Sunday, October 30, 2005 7:36 PM Subject: [PHP-GTK-DEV] Re: [PHP-GTK] ext/libglade complete? > > We're all getting confused here, partly because I don't have Glade2 > > installed yet, I think.
