I don't agree with that. There are some, such as the signal from the
core that the buffer has changed, that are handled elegantly by emitting
a signal. Different dialogs do different things when the buffer changes.
Some refresh their contents, some close, some do nothing. All are free
to do what they think is best because they connect to the signal that
tells them the change has occurred.

FWIW, the redrawGUI signal was best implemented as a signal IMO. It just
happens that the need for the code has gone with the removal of the XForms
frontend.

However, there definitely are signals that just obfuscate. Proceed with
your clean up and you'll fix them I'm sure.
