Finding out a widget's parent

[Christian Robottom Reis <kiko async com br>]

How does one find out the widget's parent (i.e., it's immediately
enclosing container). I've thought about writing a wrapper for
gtk_widget->parent, but noticed there doesn't seem to be a way of finding
out _what type of widget it is_ -- or is there?

Is there another way of picking up it's parent? Using get_ancestor,
perhaps?

Take care,
