Is gtk_container_get_children() suppose to return a list of all children 
including children of children down to the last leaf or just the 
immediate children?  I only seem to get the immediate children.  Will 
gtk_container_foreach() or gtk_container_forall() go down all levels to 
the last leaf or just the next level?
