I dunno if there is a correct way to do this, but I need code that would 
 look them up so I just looped thought the children using 
gtk_container_get_children() like you're describing.  Perhaps there is a 
better way, and if so I'd love to here it, but this method does work 
none the less and it works pretty well.  I'm a realitivly new C coder as 
well so my code may be some what bad.  If you'd like to see it though 
you can check it out here:

http://cvs.kicken.mine.nu:8008/cvsweb.cgi/LNote/common.c?rev=1.4&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

Specifically it's the get_widget_with_name() and 
find_child_widget_with_name() functions that you'd need from my code. 
To use them I do this:

GtkWidget *textarea=get_widget_with_name(w, "EditorTextarea");

Where w is some widget and "EditorTextarea" is the name, in this example 
the name of a GtkTextView.

Hope that helps some.
