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