Yeah, I don't have a backtrace, but you can get into various crash
related to not cleaning up signal handlers properly. In general, this
signal_connect helper is really awesome, as you don't have to worry
about either emitter or receiver being dead, but some time you may
prefer to actually crash if something goes wrong. So a systematic
replace isn't what I would recommend. But for Spice channel & display,
it is needed to cleanup if either of the two is destroyed.
