Yeah, the bit that you must omit in the signal string is the parameter name if 
it is present in the C++. So the first selected signal has an int parmeter 
called "index", but the second signal has an unnamed const QString & 
parameter. const == unmodifiable, & == reference instead of pointer - don't 
worry about it, it's just obscure C++ cruft ;) and it is automatically 
translated into an object that you can use.

As to why the one has a parameter name and the other doesn't... *shrug*
