gtk_widget_show_all with hidden widgets...

Ages ago, someone who's name I forgot to copy'n'paste said:

This reminded me of something...  Normally, I use gtk_widget_show_all() on the main window once it's fully 
constructed, to bring everything to life.  But how does that work, if you want to leave a widget or two 
hidden?

I assume show_all() won't recurse into an already-shown widget or container.  So it should be possible to 
show() a container, within which are widgets which you wish to remain hidden.  Does that make sense, and/or 
work?
