Not really:

struct foo orig;
gpointer gptr = (gpointer) &foo; // gpointer from pointer-to-struct
struct foo *fptr = (struct foo *) gptr // pointer-to-struct from
                                       // gpointer.
Now to get the struct back, just dereference the pointer (*fptr).

Remember that "gpointer" is just "void *".

Roger
