The assertions for widget existence and typing are hold overs from
before the glade files were in stalled in a version specific place.
This is a discussion that we've had before in different ways with
James.  It boils down to the fact that it would be nice to have some
versioning capabilities in the glade file.  I'd rather not do this
now.  The confusion for new developers seems to outweigh the
additional safety.
