        Yes - that'd be really useful in some ways; we used to have a lot
of problems like this in gnumeric before we started installing the glade
files in versioned directories. More useful than the precice type would be
simply to check that a set of named widgets exist in the XML file, and
will return non-NULL when we suck them out.
