In the Builder documentations it says:

  The connect_signals() method uses Python's introspective features to look at
  the keys (if object is a mapping) or attributes (if object 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.

So that you can pass a dict with only the keys corresponding to the handler
you need to connect.
