While signal autoconnection from LibGlade works in many circumstances,
you're going to have problems when you try to connect signals with
complex prototypes.

So, frankly, if you're working in java-gnome, I would recommend you use
the 

    WhateverWidget whatever = (WhateverWidgit)
glade.getWidget("whatever");
...
        whatever.addListener(new WhateverListener() {
        	public void whateverEvent(WhateverEvent event) {
        		// your code here
        	}
        });
        
construct that is familiar from other Java graphical user interface
toolkits. 

Personally, I find that whole thing just a little ugly, but I have to
admit that having done both ways, I find that the Listener/Event way
provides much greater control over the events, especially in terms of
getting to the details of the event.

So that's what I recommend.
