Well, in this case it was Tim who knew what he was doing, but I
don't think there is a problem here.

 - The output is coming from testgtk, not from the library
 - reparenting consists of unparenting, then setting a new parent.
   (But in a special way so that the GdkWindow is not destroyed)
 
There is, however, a problem with the fact things aren't getting
resized when the label is added to the new parent.

Are you having other problems than this output from testgtk?
