Sorry, why do you think *connected_to* does not give you "Connected to"??

In fact handle->connected_to is of type ConnectionPoint. 
ConnectionPoint::object gives you the object owning the connection point,
see lib/connectionpoint.h .

ConnectionPoint::connected is of type GList* and gives you a list of all 
object connected to that cp.

Which means you are running in circles no matter how many exclamation marks 
 you put therer ;-)

Sure it would be. But isn't it also a bit strange to look for bugs 
elsewhere first?
