I have a dialog-window, that notifies the user about some
error, etc.
I wanted to use a generic callback function, that I could use for
hiding/showing windows, so I thought about something like
this:

void window_visibility (GtkWidget* widget, gpointer p_vis)
{
  static gint vis = GPOINTER_TO_INT (p_vis);
  static GdkWindow *muata = gtk_widget_get_parent_window (widget);

  if ( vis )                        /* vis != 0 */
      gdk_window_show (muata);
  else                              /* vis == 0 */
      gdk_window_hide (muata);
}


Now I had the problem that I wanted to call this function manually
(not by a callback) - and all I had was the:     GtkWidget* dialog
