The comments are not quite clear, it sounds like all widgets will
get gtk_widget_set_name(widget, "name_from_xml_file") called,
which would be wrong since we have themes, where widget name
means something special. Or what does it mean "Sets the name of
the buildable object, it's used to synchronize the name if the object
already has it's own concept of name." ("concept of name" part).
