Don't.

    If a control affects only one notebook page, place it on
    that notebook page. If it affects every page in the
    notebook, place it outside the notebook control, for
    example beside the window's OK and Cancel buttons.

Beside that, if you want a wizzard, use wizzard, not
a notebook (a wizzard widget is available only in Gnome
libs, not in Gtk+ though).  In a notebook user can freely
switch to any page any time (or not to switch) -- if you
want a serie of steps notebook is not the right widget.

Beside that, if you want to some buttons inaccessible in
spite of all this, use gtk_dialog_set_response_sensitive(),
because disappearing dialog buttons are extremely confusing.
