Damn.  Missed that one...  Burried in there down towards the bottom.

" Sets the "no_show_all" property, which determines whether calls to gtk_widget_show_all() and 
gtk_widget_hide_all() will affect this widget. "

It doesn't actually state, though, whether it show_all() will still recurse into a no_show_all()'d 
container...  I'd assume not, but it'd probably be better if it actually said so.

With that, then, I'm guessing show_all() doesn't care whether a widget is already shown or not, and will in 
fact continue to show children of a visible widget?

Something to stash away in my swiss cheese brain for a rainy day...  :)
