[Vala] Connecting widgets delphi style

[Sam Liddicott <sam liddicott com>]

This connects widgets if they are declared as public static, which of 
course is no good really;

...
   public static Gtk.Entry dialer_entry;
...

   private void widget_connect() {
       weak List<Gtk.Widget> widgets = this.xml.get_widget_prefix("");
       Gtk.Widget ** sym;

       foreach (Gtk.Widget widget in widgets) {
           if (!module.symbol (namespace + widget.name, out sym) && 
!module.symbol (widget.name, out sym)) {
               stdout.printf ("Symbol not found: %s\n", namespace + 
widget.name);
          } else {
               stdout.printf("Connect Widget %s %p %p\n",widget.name, 
sym, *sym);
               *sym=widget;
           }
       }

   }

So I need to do object introspection to find the address of a named 
member of an instance.

Is this working in vala yet?
