Re: Proper way to remove a child attached to a cell in a GtkSheet?

That's correct, you have to use gtk_container_remove! I'm happy to hear 
about your progress. This will be a real testdrive for gtkextra. We'll 
figure out the text problem and I'll release. Do you like the smooth 
looking  pango fonts on the plots so far?
