thanks, I've checked the original pointer with the returning pointer and they were different. So it seems that a copy isalways done.

I've made a test with a glade file:
GtkWindow *setting_window;setting_window = g_object_new(GTK_TYPE_WINDOW, "title", "Settings", "border-width", 6, "window-position", GTK_WIN_POS_MOUSE, NULL);
g_printf("win name = %s\n", gtk_widget_get_name(GTK_WIDGET(setting_window)));
GtkVBox *vbox = GTK_VBOX(glade_xml_get_widget(new_xml, "mainwin_vbox"));
g_printf("vbox name = %s\n", gtk_widget_get_name(GTK_WIDGET(vbox)));
gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(setting_window), GTK_WIDGET(vbox));
button = GTK_BUTTON(glade_xml_get_widget(new_xml, "mainwin_close"));g_signal_connect(button, "clicked", G_CALLBACK(close_me), setting_window);
image = GTK_IMAGE(glade_xml_get_widget(new_xml, "image1"));g_object_set(image, "file", "supertux.gif", NULL);
g_printf("image name = %s\n", gtk_widget_get_name(GTK_WIDGET(image)));
This was the result:win name = GtkWindowvbox name = mainwin_vboximage name = image1
it seems to me that it's safe to use the name property since glade uses it too. You can set any widget name withinglade-3 and I've never had problems with it.
I know that I can get an answer for some things directly out from the code but sometimes I don't know whether the pieceof code I've looked into is just a exception or if there's a policy for suchs things, that's why I've asked in the firstplace ;)
It's seems great if I'm able to save "custom data" in the 'name' property. Sometimes it's handy to do that.
