Thanks for checking, Mike. I'm actually doing this (omitting #:parameter-type), but then, when I run the application and interact with something in the GUI that should trigger an action, I get the following error, and the appropriate callbacks are never run:

I thought that maybe this could be related to not specifying #:paramenter-type... So I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. This is the application I'm trying to write:

The actions and connections are defined in the "app:activate" and "app:startup" procedures.
