Hmmm, I think so, but I should qualify slightly what I said above: what I'm 
actually using the gtk_object_(get|set)_data calls for is a situation in 
which the parent of a widget isn't a top-level window.

To the originator of this thread: is the function you're referring to 
gtk_widget_get_parent_window instead of gtk_window_get_parent? If not, you 
should give the former a try.
