Hi there!

Sorry for the very late reply; I got caught up in that thing called
"real life"... :-)

Yup, I had seen 'objectDestroy' in Object.chs, thanks to the link
provided in the documentation for the "destroy-event" signal.  My
problem with that is that this signal handler is not at the same level
in the object hierarchy than the one in GTK+.  I find this unintuitive,
and it is bound to confuse users of our bindings at some point.  I think
we should aim at minimizing such differences, which is why I proposed
that patch.

Is there a legitimate reason for this difference?

Unfortunately, I'm not using emacs, and I have no intention to switch to
another editor :-).  Is there another way to get to those tags?  Or can
I just ignore this issue and leave it to others to deal with in the
future?

Cheers,
