We have a similar situation with the scripts that control the GUI on our 
game (we need to connect lua functions to sigc++ signals). What we did is 
just use our own connector function (the equivalent to your 
'Timer:Schedule()'), and registered it ourselves on the luastate using 
functions from the tolua library. You can take the table reference there.. 
It's really easy, they have a 'tolua_function()' to register, and 
tolua_popnumber and popstring to handle the stack. Just take a look at some 
of the code that tolua generates.
