I can't speak to the prospective speed improvement or lack thereof of
using multiple widgets shown and hidden in one window, but it doesn't
have to be difficult.  You can create all your panes/windows in separate
windows in Glade.  Have your code create a window with a box.  Then,
load the window child widgets (rather than the windows themselves) with
libglade and pack all these into the box.
