you can use gtk_get_action_area() to get the GtkBox that that is the action
area, that itself contains the buttons. I believe you can then get all the
child widgets, which would be the GtkButtons.
The docs for GtkDialog describes it some, but doesn't talk about getting the
buttons. I think you would have to go to the page for GtkBox for how to get
the children.
