The third stategy depends completely on how much you know at build time -
use an FXSwitcher pane and instead of destroying a frame, just switch the
other one in. Its probably easiest, risks a leak the least (not that there
would be one in FXRuby, of course), and has more clarity than throwing up
new bunches of widgets willy nilly.
