I would prefer an approach similar to the one taken by the GtkTed
(table editor) widget in libgnomeui.  You declare the "interactive"
widgets in your program's code, and then you pass each of them to the
Ted with a unique identifier.  

Then you call the gtk_ted_prepare() function.  This function will
either pop up the dialog if a layout for the widgets has already been
defined, or it will pop up a GUI editor if it has not been defined
yet.  When the programmer arranges the widgets in the GUI editor, it
saves the configuration for later runs.

You add a new widget to it and then you can use the
gtk_box_reorder_child() function.

Where does it crash?
