GtkEntry and hiding tabs in notebooks

[Fredrik Arnerup <e97_far e kth se>]

Hello,

I have a notebook in which I sometimes want some of the tab to be
hidden. Now, I can accomplish this by hiding the page, but the
problem is showing it again. If there are GtkEntries on a page, those
are shown even if the page itself isn't the active one.

I am assuming this because GtkEntry has its own window or
something. The problem goes away when I change pages, so it seems like 
GtkNotebook has code to handle this special case?

Is there a simple way of getting around this problem without
hiding the contents of each page and then connecting to the
switch-page signal to show the contents on demand?
