That depends on what you mean with 'refer to a child widget like that'. Button 
widgets allow you to access their child widget like that (GTK_BUTTON (button)->
child). If you create the button with gtk_button_new_with_label, then, not very 
surprisingly, the child you access that way is a GTK_LABEL widget. Label 
widgets are descendents (classwise) of GTK_MISC widgets. Misc widgets (and 
therefor labels) allow you to set the padding like that.
