Did you first create the fileselection (with gtk_file_selection_new)? - I
suppose so. How did you start (activate) the fileselection? Does it still
exist at the moment of the printf? 

If you connected a _destroy to the buttons, the widget will not actually
exist anymore. In that case you have to extract the filename from the
selection in the callback function connected to the (Ok-)button, and copy
it somewhere else.
