I think best would be to add a bindable alternative that accepts 2 GClosure arguments. Then bindings can just marshall those and not try to do complex stuff with several user_datas, GDestroyNotify, etc. Plus, if we keep the supported arguments simpler, we can give better error messages when people pass an incorrect number or types of arguments. See the patch in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/review?bug=621092 for an example of how to do this. > An alternate solution is to provide some 'manual binding', i.e. binding this > function directly, not through introspection.

All the functionality in Gtk+ is supposed to be accessible through bindable APIs, so it's there where we have to fix these.
