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?

Fix is in svn.
a.
