7 GObject signals can be used to notify applications of events specific
8 to this object. Note, however, that the application needs to be aware
9 of signals and their meaning, so if you're looking for a generic way
10 for application-element interaction, signals are probably not what
11 you're looking for. In many cases, however, signals can be very useful.
