You could do this quite easily by using a global GObject to hold your associations. You can then use g_object_[sg]et_data to set/retrieve them, e.g.: /* At startup: */ gpointer assocObj = g_object_new(G_TYPE_OBJECT, NULL); then: g_object_set_data(assocObj, "some-name", some_data); .... p = g_object_get_data(assocObj, "some-name"); Ian > -----Original Message----- > From: Christ, Bryan > Sent: Wednesday, April 12, 2006 7:57 AM > > Thanks.
