Current version of glib (1.3.1) don't include signal support for GObject
:-((

This is what I do now, but I don't like use GUI lib when I don't need
GUI.

I need develop application in C (and I like C :-))), I very like Gtk+
object system, and I wish to use as many of it core features as
possible.

I can wait for signal support in GObject, but I wish to be sure that it
will be there.
