Why  would  you need a function to do what you can want directly ? The
data  of  a  widget aren't private, I think. You should not modify it,
because you can't do what the widget can with a function which do that
properly  (is  this clear ?). But, there's nothing wrong to access the
data  of  a  widget. And you need this in very common cases, like when
you  create a GtkFileSelection, or when you need the title of a window
:-)
