there isn't any choice. the child cannot access the widgets. end of
story. i didn't even both to check your code to notice that it was
doing that. if you want to operate on widgets created in a given
process, you need to be inside that process. once you fork, you can't
access them anymore (well, not without expecting problems). what makes
you think you could do this?

what code are you looking at that makes you think it works this way?
