Description Maciej (Matthew) Piechotka 2008-01-15 20:05:26 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
In certain classes there are signal and function with the same name. In addition sometimes both play crutial role (like for example realized in implementing GtkWidget). 

Steps to reproduce:
Find an object where signal and the finction has the same name (like GtkWidget)


Actual results:
Try overload function and use signal

Expected results:
Both should be achivable

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Something like that should solve the specific problem about GtkWidget, however it do not solve the problem in general.

However:
1. What's the best naming convention (is it possible to have it as one name as in Gtk#)
2. How to autogenerate it.
