Hello,

You probably haven't read the rest of the code created by glade? It does
the following: (lets say 'root' is your root widget (window) and 'w' the
widget you wanne reference)

gtk_object_set_data (GTK_OBJECT (root), "widget name", w);

So, it sets a string (name in your piece o' code) connected to the
widget in the root widget.

yours,
