And the value of "data" is overwritten by the return of the signal handler (in this case it returns a guint). This means that you must save whatever you have in "data" to restore it after the function returns. But the fact that gtk_signal_emit_by_name() is blocking means that you have to get into the thread business if you want to make things work as with signal queue. So you are much better off calling the signal handler of the signalled widget directly. Oh well...
