Repacking a widget

[Richard Jones <rich annexia org>]

Hi:

I have a widget packed into a table (with other widgets). As part of
the UI I need to have a "zoom" button which takes the widget, removes
the table, and repacks the widget into the table's parent.  ie. The
widget will appear to zoom to full screen.

When I try to zoom my existing widget, I get this assertion, and
nothing displays:

Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkbox.c: line 332 (gtk_box_pack_start): assertion `child->parent == NULL' failed.

I've been told that I can only pack widgets if they are "floating"
(presumably meaning they don't have a parent?). But I see no way to
"float" a widget.

How can I do this?

Rich.
