what? c is not type-safe? :-)

In my original post, i had included these (from the gtk+ ref material):
  GtkWidget* gtk_list_new (void)
  void gtk_list_append_items (GtkList *list, GList *items);
                              ^^^^^^^^^      ^^^^^^^

to me, this seems to imply that it must indeed be of type GtkList* and 
GList* and not of type GtkListItem* or GtkCList*......am i wrong in 
my assumption?
