Well, I don't think this is actually what is going on.  show_all()
does no magic except show all the widgets, and I've done similar
things a number of times without running into difficulites.

It is impossible to tell without seeing more code. (It is best when
reporting problems to give actual working examples of what doesn't
work), but it sounds like you might never have been showing the new
widget? In any case, if you got it working, I guess it doesn't matter.
