I normally write the above call like this:
g_signal_connect( G_OBJECT(AddFile_button), "clicked",
G_CALLBACK(on_add_files_activate), "dummy");
Are both correct? Which is the preferred way to do it?

The actual parameters of the callback function is determined by the
event and the widget handling the event. Here you are handling the
"clicked" event for a GtkButton. And for this event, the prototype of
the callback handler is
void user_function(GtkButton *button, gpointer user_data);

You can use it or not, but you cannot change their order or add more
arguments. Maybe others can add more information on this.
