Personally I just call Gtk::Widget->show and Gtk::Widget->hide functions to add and remove
items from the visible display.  That way you don't have to rebuild the widgets, (like you
would after a ->destroy) and any routines you have or children you have that refer
to the Widget won't get messed with.  (However, calling Gtk::Widget->hide will hide
the Widget, AND it's children)

I also see that you are moving an item from one widget to the other, no problem, use
Gtk::Widget->reparent
