You can create your GObject class and define a signal (g_signal_new) 
with specific parameters list.

No. It's impossible - "clicked" signal is defined in gtkbutton.c and it 
takes no extra parameters. Common way is to pass a pointer to structure 
(fast and takes no extra memory) or use g_object_set_data (slower, 
consumes memory).
