Method get_widget

  `GTK2.Widget get_widget(string path)`

Description

  Looks up a widget by following a path. The path consists of the names specified in the xml description of the ui, separated by '/'. Elements which don't have a name or action attribute in the xml (e.g. &gt;popup&lt;) can be addressed by their xml element name (e.g. "popup"). The root element ("/ui") can be omitted in the path.

  Note that the widget found be following a path that ends in a &gt;menu&lt; element is the menuitem to which the menu is attached, not the menu itself.
