Hi, it seems that it was common practice to cast the first argument of g_signal_connect() to G_OBJECT when I started developing applications with GTK+ quite a while ago. At least I've learned it that way and am doing it ever since.
I repeatedly see usage of g_signal_connect() without that cast which seems to make sense since "instance" only has to be a gpointer and will be checked G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE at run time. So I'm just curious. Is/was there a reason for the G_OBJECT cast? Was it necessary back in the days (when GTK+ 2 took over from GTK+ 1)?
