Go look again at the docs for the radio item's "activate" signal, are you sure that the callback only takes one paramater ? also, gpointer implies a void pointer, no need to cast (void **) pointer to pointer, just (gpointer) will do instead of (gpointer *) (but your code will still work without that change).
