Dear developers, I created an Widget and overrode the constructor of the GObject interface to initialize private members.
Then I listened to screen-changed signal of the widget. in the signal handler a private member was accessed; The private member was not properly initialized when the first screen_changed signal is emitted. Later on I added debug messages in the constructor and screen-changed signal handler; it turns out that the handler was invoked *before* the constructor. However, the construction of the GObject is not yet finished before the constructor function is invoked (at least to my understanding); Should this behavior be a bug? This is a serious interference with VALA where there is no way to specify the instance _init functions. I am also ccing to vala-list to see if the vala gurus can advice with a clean workaround.
