How do you tell which window any widget is in? Nothing specific to option
menu there. You could use the GtkWindow*, or some piece of data associated
with the window, or whatever makes sense for your program. Most likely
each window is associated with some data structure in your program; store
a pointer to that data structure on the window with gtk_object_set_data().
But that's only one possible solution.
