Thanks for taking a look at the issue, Eckehard.  What's the right way to
initiate the redraw?

Seems like the gtk_widget_destroy() call should behave the same for both the
container widget as well those widgets held within it. Why do some widgets (those
contained) not need the redraw while the container does for it to disappear?
