   I have one idea regarding this.  Why can add a
_feature_ to glade3, which is...
   * when double-clicking any of the widget, the
widget's default signal ("clicked" for GtkButton) is
added automatically after the signal-editor widget is
shown (or focus the handler textbox in signal-editor
widget if the handler was already added).
