No, Sven is referring to a GTK signal that GimpDrawables
emit. Typical listeners may include Layer, Channels, and Path
widgets that need to update previews of the layers
they represent. This is internal to Gimp core logic and is
not related to UNIX interprocess communication.
Havoc Pennington's "GTK/Gnome Application Development
(1999 New Riders) discusses the signalling mechanism that
GTK objects (like GimpDrawable) uses.
