Where can I get questions like these answers? Code related questions .i.e.

Yes, those macros are basically casts. You don't _need_ them, but you should use them as they also check that the cast is a correct one. Because C doesn't have a build-in object system you can make invalid casts (e.g. cast a GtkButton to GtkWindow) without that the compiler tells you.
If you use those macros you will at least get runtime errors what/where it went wrong.

Not sure if this was understandable ;) If not, please tell me...

Ah yea, and the "Development" forum is probably better suited then the "Community" forum. So here this thread should be fine :)
