GtkWidget::show
    
     show()  is a commonly-used method
     that combines a series of other methods in order to display a widget on
     the screen.
    
    
     A widget cannot be shown until its containing parent is shown. If
     show()  is called on a widget whose parent
     has not been shown, that widget will not be realized or mapped until the show
     is called by the parent widget.
