Hi Kaleb,

	well since the panel is a GtkCoontainer you can get the list of
children with gtk.Container.get_children(). However at that point you
will probably need a way to check the child you are interested in and
that may a bit painful unless you know that is a particular kind of
widget or something like that.

The api at the moment is not very helpful, maybe we should add a way to
enumerate the panel items by name...

Ciao
	Paolo
