Dynamic modification of widgets

[Landshark <lndshark megsinet net>]

Hello,

I have a window with a horizontally split pane in it right now.  I want
to, based on user input, modify it so it becomes a vertical split,
verticle + horizontal, etc.

How do I go about safely deleting the pane and everything in it?  Could I
just call gtk_widget_delete on the box holding it, or would that not quite
do the job?
