						   +gpointer    func_data);

and make the function prototypes like this:
GtkWidget* (*GtkFileSelectionChildCreateFunc)	(GtkFileSelection	*fs,
						 ButtonIdEnum		 button_type,
						 gpointer		 func_data);

this way the application can pack the widgets anywhere/anyhow it wants to.
the fs has to be create *before* calling the button creation functions,
and has to be shown *afterwards*.
the fs does not add the buttons to one of it's containers, but connects
to the GtkWidget::activate signal of the returned widget.

also if a function is specified as NULL, skip that button/functionality.
