Err, umm, so the executive summary would be "best to call $widget->destroy explicitly", as opposed to worrying too much whether merely dropping the last reference to a widget will cleanup it and its components.
That should really only be necessary for toplevel windows and unparented widgets. A parented widget (something that has been added or packed into something else) will be destroyed (with ->destroy) along with its parent.
