Erm, wait, I just realized what you meant by that. No, it's not cleaner, because of the way Glade works. In PHP-GTK 1, if you set up the object to be passed in Glade it never worked, because signal_autoconnect() didn't recognise it. This way, it does work, and signal_autoconnect() caters for four separate kinds of signals. Its only problems are a) passing data and b) connecting to a callback defined within a class, non-statically. I think it would be sensible to have a separate function that passed an object as first parameter if you wanted to be able to access callbacks within that class, and data mapping as a second parameter. I don't think it would be a good idea to call it signal_autoconnect_object() though, because that means something other. - Steph
