well, in principle you should be able to call all the functions belonging
to a widget in pretty random order.
as always ;), there are a few exceptions
*_constructor() functions should be called directly after a widgets creation,
and a few else functions need to be called before a widget is realized,
e.g. gtk_widget_set_events().
