Michael, the example you show is a limitation on the Gtk# code
generation, and has nothing to do with a limitation with the delegates. 
This is indeed ugly:

While the real signature should just be:

void mySizeAllocateMethod (long i, long j, string name)
{
}

But this is not a C#/.NET limitation, it is a binding-generation
limitation.
