There is already such thing and it uses hash table, not GList...
gtkobject.h:
void gtk_object_set_data       (GtkObject   *object,
                                const gchar *key,
                                gpointer     data);

gpointer gtk_object_get_data       (GtkObject   *object,
                                    const gchar *key);

(I dunno about this either.. prolly should use system signal handlers..)
