Without the XML file that holds your GUI description things are a bit
hard to debug, but if I understand you correctly, "clica" function is
connected to GtkButton::clicked signal? If this is the case, then your
clica function should have a prototype like this:

G_MODULE_EXPORT void
clica (GtkButton *button,
       gpointer  *user_data);

You can find documentation about how your function prototypes should
look and what each parameter means by clicking DevHelp button in Glade
or by visiting GNOME developer's pages [1]. Documentation for
GtkButton::clicked signal can be found here [2].

Cheers,
Tadej
