Widget reusing

[Sebastian Tannert <tannert physik hu-berlin de>]

Hello,

I'm trying hard to find out if reusing of widgets is impossible
or if I do a big mistake. 

The following code will fail:

 label=gtk_label_new("button"); /* define a label */
 gtk_widget_show(label);
 buttonA = gtk_button_new();
 gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(buttonA),label); /* add it to BUTTON-A */
 buttonB =gtk_button_new();
 gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(buttonB),label); /* add it to BUTTON-B */

Reuse of a label may not save to much memory, but there are other
situations like reuse of a toggle button which should be accesible from
two pages of a notebook or having the same drawingarea on two notebook
pages.
I could not find any hint in the FAQ or any other gtk tutorial,
also browsing through the list failed, may be I missed it?

Thanks for help!

Sebastian
