Re: getting a GtkWidget*

[Loban Amaan Rahman <loban earthling net>]

Yes, but in order to do this you need to use libglade to dynamically load
the XML file at runtime to create the widgets. You can give each widget a
name, and then call glade_xml_get_widget(GladeXML *self, char *name) to get
a pointer to the GtkWidget.

If you aren't using libglade, but having glade pregenerate the code for you,
i'm not perfectly sure what the proper solution is.
