All you need to know is: 1. If it's in a container, it will be destroyed with the container. 2. If it's a toplevel container (i.e. not in a container) you should call gtk_widget_destroy. 3. If you need to transfer it between two containers, you should do this or you will eat flaming death: gtk_widget_ref(widget); gtk_container_remove(container1, widget); // failure to call _ref() will result in a destroy here. gtk_container_add(container2, widget); // or pack_start or whatever gtk_widget_unref(widget); // it's now safely ref'd by the container. Easy eh? BTW, gtk_clist_set_policy is dead; you need to pack CList into a ScrolledWindow, then set_policy on the ScrolledWindow, in the newer Gtk. This is a major gap in gnome-apt, so I think I'm going to go ahead and merge this in, making a whole lot of changes along the way I think. Adding the _() i18n macro alone is going to result in a huge diff. I think I also want to clean it up and make it more C++-like, and rearrange the files to fit in my directory structure and build. Hope this is OK. You can monitor my actions on CVS of course. :-) Thanks, Havoc
