Whats different to GToolkit?
 http://www.informatik.uni-osnabrueck.de/elmar/projects/gtoolkit/
?


I find something like this:

  [button connect : "clicked":self:@selector(button:)];

rather ugly. I would suggest to have some mapping table which maps 
GObject names to proper selectors, say:

  [button connectSignal:"clicked" toTarget:self 
withSelector:@selector(click:)];

Maybe you could use 'jobs' files for that.

Actually signals are somewhat similiar to selectors (well, its a 
workaround for not having selectors in gtk+ or Qt). So maybe something 
like this:

  [button connectToTarget:self];

would be more appropriate with a reflection on -clicked: performed by 
the button.

If this is too strange or if you absolutely need to have the connection 
to multiple recipients, maybe you should at least use the 
NSNotificationCenter API, eg:
  [gtk addObserver:self selector:@selector(click:)
       object:button name:@"clicked"];

Just some not well thought out ideas ;-)

Greets,
