In a word, via a wrapper struct.  Most gtk functions let you pass just 
one piece of "user data", but there's nothing to stop you making that 
piece a pointer to a struct, which can have as many members as you 
like, including, as in your case, pointers to specific widgets whose 
sensitivity you want to change depending on what happens elsewhere.
