Well, gtkmm does of course keep track of the widget hiearchy and you can 
traverse it, although this is not very simple. But normally, it would be 
good design to avoid having objects magically modifying objects other 
than "child" objects without someone telling them to. Perhaps if you 
told us more about what you are looking to achieve on a higher, not 
technical, level?
