You need to keep a reference to the original window around.  Make it  
static in your callbacks file, or even make it global.  lookup_widget,  
as you suspected, only works for the window the calling widget is in,  
in this case the dialog.

So when you load up the original window, set a static or global pointer  
to the window, then you can use lookup_widget with that pointer, and  
get to your label.
