__dict__ for instances?

Nope, at least for PyGTK 2 :) See below.

Use the doc, Luke, oops, Ivan :)
Citing the gtk.glade.XML.signal_autoconnect documentation: 
  def signal_autoconnect(dict)
  dict: a mapping or an instance
                        ^^^^^^^^
  
  The signal_autoconnect() method is a variation of the
  gtk.glade.XML.signal_connect method. It uses Python's introspective
  features to look at the keys (if dict is a mapping) or attributes (if
                                                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  dict is an instance) and tries to match them with the signal handler
  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  names given in the interface description. The callbacks referenced by
  each matched key or attribute are connected to their matching signals.
  The argument is called dict due to compatibility reasons since
  originally only the mapping interface was supported. The instance
  variant was introduced in PyGTK 2.0.

So simply using signal_autoconnect(self) should work.
