RE: [gtk-list] A more elegant way to get labels from buttons???

[Evan Lawrence <evan worldpath net>]

I think you could use the gtk_label_get() function to make it a little more
elegant, but as for the GTK_BUTTON(widget)->child part, I'm pretty sure that's
the only way of getting to the label - when you think about it, a
gtk_button_with_label_get function wouldn't actually be right, since a
button can hold many other types of widgets, it's not limited to just labels.
As for RTFM's, I've found the header files to be the most useful :)
