This works fine for any class derived from GtkButton. Changing pages will
take a little bit of work, but isn't undo able. The trick will be when there
is a label and control (like a label/combo box pair) where the label is not a
child of the combo box. I think for that we will have to be hard coded the
linkage between labels and the controls. May be I should look into added some
user_data to the combo boxes? Does anybody have experience adding data to
gtkobjects?
