You can pass another widget from the project as user data to the
callback by using the "object" field in the glade editor.

If thats not enough... I suppose its best to just use
glade_xml_get_widget() on the widgets you need at startup time
and call g_signal_connect() yourself and pass some more interesting
user_data arguments.
