I'm afraid that there is no equivalent for that in GtkBuilder (objects
that are constructed by builder don't carry any information about who
constructed them). You'll need to pass your builder object around
manually (g_object_set_data() would be one option, global variable
second, struct that is passed to all of the functions would be third,
...).
