GTK+ wont break the api on GtkBuilder, if they do for 3.0 then
they'll have a good reason, but its all fairly new stuff so its safe.

What I expect to see in GtkBuilder is a <signal id="clicked" swaped="True" .../>
type of construct to allow us to define whether the user data is swapped.

Could be (doubt it) that it was already implemented while I wasnt watching...
