     *DEPRECATED!! (compatibility wrappers for RGtk 1!)* 

     This allows us to emit or raise a Gtk signal from a Gtk object
     directly from R. This should not be used widely. The conversion of
     the arguments to their C equivalents is complex.

     gtkObjectSignalEmit(obj, signal, ...)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

     obj: the GtkObject from which the event is to be emitted.

  signal: the identifier of the signal/event, typically a string giving
          the name of the event.

     ...: the arguments that are passed in the signal emission to the
          callbacks/signal handlers.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     One should not rely on this, and fortunately one rarely needs to
     when developing regular GUIs in R. Typically, we only need this
     when we are developing Gtk classes.
