The last one I did I think I kept the label widget from when building
the menu, and just kept using it.  (It was a label displaying a title,
not a button.)

gtk-container-children, as for any subclass of GtkContainer.  Gtk 2
also has gtk-bin-get-child, I define that for myself in 1.2 with the
following (not bothering with any type checking),

        (define-public (gtk-bin-get-child bin)
          (first (gtk-container-children bin)))
