YES use :
GtkWidget *
 get_widget(GtkWidget * widget, gchar * widget_name)
{
    GtkWidget *parent, *found_widget;

    for (;;) {
	if (GTK_IS_MENU(widget))
	    parent = gtk_menu_get_attach_widget(GTK_MENU(widget));
	else
	    parent = widget->parent;
	if (parent == NULL)
	    break;
	widget = parent;
    }

    found_widget = (GtkWidget *) gtk_object_get_data(GTK_OBJECT(widget),
						     widget_name);
    if (!found_widget)
	g_warning("Widget not found: %s", widget_name);
    return found_widget;
}
