gtk_radio_button_set/get_group():
   o Deals with a const GSList * of radio buttons

GtkRadioButton:group property:
  o Is a GtkRadioButton * object type

To set a radio button onto the group of another, you can do:

g_object_set (button, "group", group_button, NULL);

Its essentially the same as calling:

gtk_radio_button_set_group (group, gtk_radio_button_get_group (group_button));

Essentially they mean the same thing, but dont confuse the property with
the accessor functions that happen to have the same name because of their
similar meaning, this is just not a case of a typed property with a
corresponding
accessor and mutator, they are separate apis.

Cheers,
