The new Version:

void Gtk::Container::remove (Widget& widget) 

Removes widget from container. 

widget must be inside container. If widget is managed with
Gtk::manage(), and you don't want to use widget again then you should
delete widget , because there will no longer be any parent container to
delete it automatically. 


This is correct, but I think the following is clearer

widget must be inside container. If widget is a pointer to a Widget
allocated on heap by new in combination with Gtk::manage(), there will
no longer be any parent container to delete widget automatically. So if
you don't want to use widget again, then you should apply the delete
opereator to widget after removing it.
