following the docs I have several questions?

  1. the explanation is exactly the same as for "emit_stop_by_name": which
     is the difference? 

"""
  The stop_emission() method stops the current emission of the signal
  specified by detailed_signal
"""

  2. "current emission" means the emission of the signal that is now
     handled? if this is the case, what's the need for specifying the name?

  3. How is it different from returning True? 
     I tested it with::

        b = gtk.Button("Press me")
        e = gtk.Entry()
        b.connect('clicked', self.on_clicked1)
        b.connect('clicked', self.on_clicked2)

        e.connect('key-press-event', self.on_key_press_event1)
        e.connect('key-press-event', self.on_key_press_event2)


     on_clicked2 cannot be inhibited returning True from on_clicked1 while 
     on_key_press_event1 *can* be inhibited simply returning True.

     Both can be inhibited using stop_emission.
