What I want to achieve is to collect some IDs (or something similar)
when I create the internal classes. At this point, I have not created
any instances. So I think I cant use G_TYPE_FROM_INSTANCE.
Class *ButtonClass = ClassNew ("Button", BinClass, ....
klass = get_the_class_of (GtkButton)
id = the_id_of_class (klass)
set_class_id (ButtonClass, id)
...
then later (stupid code but i hope it makes the point)
....
id = get_id_of_this_widget_instance (w)
Class c = get_class_from_id (id)
if (c == ButtonClass)
...
else if (c == FrameClass)
...
etc.
