Hi,
I searched a bit in the documentation but I didn't find anything useful.
The GLib.Object does have some methods for getting and setting custom 
properties but they are protected.

Since you're using Glade, I would map those Gtk.Button objects to some 
fields:

        [Glade.Widget()]
        private Gtk.Button btnOne;
       
        [Glade.Widget()]
        private Gtk.Button btnTwo;

        private void on_SomeButton_clicked(object sender, 
System.EventArgs e)
        {
               if (sender == btnOne)
                      System.Console.WriteLine("Hello from first button");
               else if (sender == btnTwo)
                      System.Console.WriteLine("Hello from second button");
               else
                      System.Console.WriteLine("This is quite interesting");
        }


Oh and check out the Glade# Code Generator:
http://eric.extremeboredom.net/projects/gladesharpcodegenerator/

it can produce the glade code for you.
