Preventing child widgets form beeing deleted?

[Bodo Bauer <bb zenguin com>]

Hello,

is tehre a way to prevent the deletion of childs in a GtkTable
when the table is destroyed calling gtk_widget_destroy ?

I use a tbel to show icons in a scrolled window. Icons should be
removed from and added to the table dynamically. What I do now is
destry the table widget and recreate the tabel everytime something
changes. But as all widgets that are in the table get destroyed 
when teh table is destroyed, I have to recreate them everytime, which
generates a lot of overhead for huge tables.

The easiest way to avoid this would be to reuse the widgets which
have been in the table. I store those pointers anyway, but they
are not valid once the table widget has been destroyed. 

Another (nicer...) solution would be a table_unatach function, which
removes a table cell. But I found neiter one....

Any ideas?
