I can find 2 add functions (in packer.h):
     void add (     Gtk_Widget &child,
               GtkSideType side,
               ... default args ...);
     void add (const Gtk_ObjectHandle<Gtk_Widget> &child,
               ... default args ...);

Seems like I'm using the 2nd one ... still not sure why this isn't
flagged as an error ... most other functions which require a
reference (such as pack_start, etc.) flag this as wrong (seen
it *many* times) ...

Yes, always. Nothing's worse than thinking your code is clean only
to find that adding -Wall produces tons of ugly warnings ...
