Hmmm, container_remove doesn't by any chance destroy the widget as well?
Doing a remove/add as suggested results in the remove succeeding, but the
add failing complaining that the child widget is not a widget anymore.

Any ideas?


Anyway, as far as the reparenting goes, doing a reparent once works (out
of original window), reparent back fails (back to original), and reparent
again (out out original) works again. So it is the 'moving back to
original window' op that fails.
