Look at http://tinyurl.com/2gvuh (Graphical Interface Development with
Glade, by Rikke Giles) to see how to store a pointer to a widget in
another widget.  If you store a pointer to window_pop in window_main then
you'll be able to access all widgets in window_pop from any widget in
window_main.  In particular, you need the functions lookup_widget,
g_object_set_data, and g_object_get_data.
