Is dialog1 created before or after about1?  If it is created after it,
then this is the cause of your problem.  You need to use the
lookup_widget() function in support.c as described in the FAQ.

I'd never do this.  I could not be sure that the interface.c file will
define the widgets in the order that I expect.
