Hi,

I have added a File Selection Dialog bog to my Glade project and I am unable
to retrieve the filename from the selection box. It is accessed from the
Menu under File-> Save As. The widget is created using (within callbacks.c):
	create_fsave();
	gtk_widget_show(fsave);

	this works fine along with the cancel button
In the button clicked signal function for the File Selection dialog box. I
have the following:
	gchar *filename;

	fsave = lookup_widget(winViewLogs, "fsave");
	filename = gtk_file_selection_get_filename(GTK_FILE_SELECTION(fsave));

	printf(filename);
I have declared the GtkWidget *fsave locally, within callbacks.c and
globally and no matter how I try it I keep receiving:
	Widget not found (fsave)
	Invalid cast from pointer to GtkFileSelection
	which basically is saying it is unsbale to find fsave.

How do I access the filename from the FileSel widget. Thank you.
