I am working with Vala and GtkOSXApplication on Mac OS. I am using Vala 0.12 because I need to use dbus-glib and, as I understand it, this is not supported by versions of Vala beyond 0.12.1

I need to connect to a Mac Specific mac-specific NSApplicationOpenFile signal, which is generated by GtkOSXApplication.

If I use the line
osxApp.NSApplicationOpenFile.connect(..)

the name of the signal is changed in the generated c code to "ns_application_open_file", and when the code is run the following error is generated
GLib-GObject-WARNING **: gsignal.c:2206: signal `ns-application-open-file' is 
invalid for instance `0x1401d020'

So I try to connect using
Signal.connect(osxApp, "NSApplicationOpenFile", this.open_file_callback, this);
and the Vala compiler generates an error
error: Cannot create delegate without target for instance method or closure
Signal.connect(osxApp, "NSApplicationOpenFile", this.open_file_callback, this);
                                                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Can anyone give me an example of how to use Signal.connect() or suggest an alternative method?
