Bug/Feature Destroying Widgets

[Scott Dybiec <sdybiec humanfactor com>]

The hard work is really paying off . . . the toolkit is awesome!

A program that worked with a previous version of GTK (0.99.1) no longer
destroys widgets with the gtk_widget_destroy() command.  If I try to
destroy a frame, only things *in* the frame are destroyed, not the frame
itself.  I have attached a program to demonstrate the behavior. The
program can be compiled with:

cc     frame_test.c   -o frame_test -lgtk -lgdk -lglib -lX11
-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXext -lm

Is there a new way to destroy widgets or is this a bug introduced in
recent releases?
