it is true you can do that with glade_xml_signal_autoconnect_full but 
wouldn't it
be much easier to just have a simple function that does it for you 
without having to
define a whole other function.  I like the idea of having a single 
function for this
because the autoconnect really is auto connecting and not making full use of
g_signal_connect which can take a parameter.  basically by adding the 
function _with_data
it is easier for people to use libglade.
