OK, I think(hope) I found and fixed the problem. I was defining the new signal as follows:
applet_preferences_signals [PREFS_CHANGED] = g_signal_new ("prefs_changed", G_TYPE_FROM_CLASS (gobject_class), G_SIGNAL_RUN_LAST, G_STRUCT_OFFSET (AppletPreferencesClass, prefs_changed), NULL, NULL, g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__INT, G_TYPE_NONE, 1, G_TYPE_POINTER); where the prefs_changed is: void (*prefs_changed)(AppletPreferences *a_prefs, PrefsChangedSignalData *signal_data) I see two problems: 1) g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__INT should be g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__POINTER since the signal data type is not int, but PrefsChangedSignalData*. The signal creation should then be applet_preferences_signals [PREFS_CHANGED] = g_signal_new ("prefs_changed", G_TYPE_FROM_CLASS (gobject_class), G_SIGNAL_RUN_LAST, G_STRUCT_OFFSET (AppletPreferencesClass, prefs_changed), NULL, NULL, g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__POINTER, G_TYPE_NONE, 1, G_TYPE_POINTER); 2) The signature we actually want for the callback function is void (AppletPreferences*, PrefsChangedSignalData*, gpointer) not void (AppletPreferences*, PrefsChangedSignalData*) so prefs_changed should be void (*prefs_changed)(AppletPreferences *a_prefs, PrefsChangedSignalData *signal_data, gpointer user_data); Make sense? Am I understanding the second and forth arguments correctly? In any case, its curious that the program compiled and that this problem only seems to show up when putting together/testing a version of Ubuntu. I guess that's what testing and Q.A. is for. Are there any GTK DEBUG flags that I should turn on as a dev?
