If by ThisIsSomeWidget you mean type name, then yes, it's correct. If
this is object instance, however, then you'd rather follow normal
variable naming, like

GtkWidget* main_window;

Also, for enums and macros you use all caps, like 

enum 
{ 
GTK_SOME_ENUM_VALUE
} GTK_SOME_ENUM;

#define GTK_SOME_MACRO

unless the macro is intended to be used like normal function, in which
case you use function naming convention.

Cheers,
Maciej
