Actually, I looked at it again, and the problem in that particular bug
is not with glade_xml_get_widget, but with glade_xml_new. He's calling
glade_xml_new to get the window named "Batches", but there's also a
button named "Batches". So, glade_xml_new in this case is loading the
button "Batches". It's all screwed up from there.

It looks like it's still safe if the widgets you use as a root argument
to glade_xml_new have unique names. In my case, the names all start with
"window_", so I'm safe.
