That sounds quite sensible.

We've been increasingly focused on GtkAction as the rendezvous point for
concentrating GUI responses instantiated by user or programmatically all
over applications, and are looking at piling more functionality into it.

As it stands right now GtkAction isn't quite generic enough (for
example, it's all hard wired to use stock icons only, so if you've got
UI elements that have the temerity to have nothing to do with stock
functions and therefore have no stock icon, you can't take advantage of
the create_*() functions) but in terms of having a unified handler for
callbacks from different parts of a program GtkAction is great.
