I've heard this argument a couple of times, it would definitely be good to
have an option to send in a structure per application/interface to all
callbacks.

Exactly, I think this use case is valid to avoid duplicating that code.

I see two possible solutions;

1) Change gtk_builder_connect_signals () to accept a gpointer to the
   user data
2) Add a new method  which is similar to gtk_builder_connect_signals but
   accepts user_data and perhaps a GDestroyNotify.

Any preference? I'm leaning towards the latter.
