Thank you Muarry,

For that swift kick in the @$$!  It was just exactly what I needed.  The 
following implementation compiles and works for me:

for(gint i = 0; i < 31; i++)
   if (GTK_CALENDAR(calendar.gobj())->marked_date[i])
   {
      // do stuff here
   }

I found the Gtk::Calendar::marked_dates method in a tutorial on the web 
and I should have not trusted it.  Next time I'll dig deeper first 
instead of bothering the list.

Thanks a million!
