 Maybe Qt does, but PyQt doesnt :) If I connect to a non-existent
signal I get True returned. Stick this in a Qgis Python console:

from PyQt4.QtCore import *
def foo():   return
z = QObject.connect(iface,SIGNAL("fnord()"),foo)
print z

This is on Qgis 1.3.0, Qt is 4.3.4 from qVersion(). I've found someone
getting an unknown signal error in PyQt but that message was from 2003
and looked like Qt3.
