Well, it's somewhat inelegant, but I'd use something like:

    GtkWidget        *button;
    GtkWidget        *label;
    GList            *glist;
    gchar            *labeltext;

     ...

    glist = gtk_container_children( GTK_CONTAINER(button) );
    label = GTK_WIDGET( glist->data );
    gtk_label_get( GTK_LABEL(label), &labeltext );
    
    printf( "Label: %s\n", labeltext );

     ...

Of course this assumes that you didn't put anything else
into the button.  If you did, you just have to loop through
the children until you find the label, I think.
