An alternative solution is, when you want to destroy the container, to 
call Gtk_Container::children() which will return a GList* (soon a
G_List*) of all the children, then iterate on it to delete them.

Note that you'll also have to delete the list itself, since it's built
on the fly from the internal data of the container,
gtk_container_children() is not a mere accessor.
