I have such a thing too:

gboolean     moo_glade_xml_fill_widget      (MooGladeXML    *xml,
                                            GtkWidget      *target,
                                            const char     *buffer,
                                            int             size,
                                            const char     *target_name,
                                            GError        **error);

It does the same thing as if constructed the widget as usual,
except it doesn't actually create the widget instance.

It's a totally good thing. Why only dialogs though, and what's
the point in having a special class (sometimes you need to
inherit from something and oops, single inheritance only)?

Best regards,
