No, you should not.  GtkFileSelection is the old file
selector, GtkFileChooser is the new one, they are two
completely different classes.  You have to use
GtkFileChooser methods, see

http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkFileChooser.html

There you can easily find gtk_file_chooser_get_filename()
and gtk_file_chooser_get_filenames().

BTW your typecasting is evil.  You can always disable the
type checks GTK_FOO(foo) normally performs by defining
G_DISABLE_CAST_CHECKS, but you can never enable type checks
for raw (GtkFoo*)foo casts.
