Ah, I would never do it that way.  I would do it like this:

	delegate void SizeAllocation (long i, int j, string name);

The delegate name is chosen to have a semantic meaning, and not match
the method signature ;-)

I do not think we are on the same page, here is how it *actually* works
on gtk#:

               win.DeleteEvent += new EventHandler (Window_Delete);

Notice that the delegate signature is `EventHandler', not
DelegateObjectEventArgs ;-)
