Right.

Wrong. Connection a signal to a slot with less parameters than the
signals has is perfectly Ok. Unfortunately I cannot find the docs where
it states so, but you can easily try it. (Or does PyQt prohibit this??)

That is inside a string literal, no problem here.

No it doesn't. It uses functionname+parameter types, that's why you use
a string for the signal signature.
