It would definitly be interesting to see a GSource implementation for
unix signals (ofcourse, specialy SIGCHLD).
My feelings on this tutorial is... I think its out of scope and may
cause more confusion to beginers then really being a help, people
may think "I can handle signals using glib" as a consiquence.
If someone is going to use signals in conjunction with pipes &
sockets they should really be reading something like Steven's
"Advanced programming in the UNIX environment" and then lookup
the tutorial to see how they are going to implement it using glib.
Just my 2 cents.
Cheers,
