Note "root window" is incorrect name here, root window is used to
specifically refer to window of XID 0x0, sitting below all other windows
and occupying whole screen. What you have in applications is called
"toplevel windows". It's easy to do with libglade, just use
glade_xml_get_widget (), after you have named your windows appropriately
in glade of course.

Unless by "build of glade" you mean autogenerated C code, which is bad,
bad, bad thing to use. Use libglade, really. Although even with
autogenerated glade code it's easy to do, check inside one of the files
generated will be function glade_get_widget_by_name() or something
similar, which works like glade_xml_get_widget ().
