basic question

[Gottipati Aravind <slttg cc usu edu>]

Hi,
	 I have a very basic question regd gtk. I am going throught the gtk 
tutorials and am in the third tutorial.

In it the author creates uses a gtkwidget *button and creates a button
and names it button1. He sets up signal handlers for it etc..
He then creates a second button using the same widget *button and names it
button2
I somehow feel that this should destroy the first button and all that he has 
set up for it, (because thats how pointers work.. right) but I see that it 
doesn't work this way. can someone explain what's happening?  
thank you
Aravind.
