No proper type conversion generated for signals

Right, the ConnectX method generation is not perfect. I'll have to figure out proper type conversion generation for the signals. I'll keep this issue open until that's implemented.
should be fixed along with #58
No change I'm afraid. The same conversion failure occurs.
Oh yeah, #58 is unimplemented. I'm planning on rebasing some work from the subclassing branch over once it works, but the large changes will take me a while and I currently can't work on large, time-consuming changes.
This issue is a bit more tedious than I anticipated. How exactly should I index a C.gpointer of underlying type *C.GFile? Go complains that unsafe.Slice((*C.GFile)(nil), 0) is not valid because it cannot get the size of a GFile instance, which is kind of weird.
Should I be doing unsafe.Slice((*C.GObject)(nil), 0)?
It turns out (to nobody's surprise) that the parameter's type is actually GFile** despite the GIR data saying otherwise.
Yes, that works. Thank you very much.
