`try_remove ()` may return true when nothing is removed about relm4 HOT 3 CLOSED

Thanks for pointing this out!

I wonder, is there a way to fix this? Maybe with something like widget.parent() == self you could find out whether the remove will actually work. Otherwise I will update the docs to describe the behavior correctly.

from relm4.

widget.parent() isn't reliable, because there can be widgets between the "container" and the "child". For example, GtkHeaderBar contains multiple GtkBoxes that it puts the start, end, and center children in. widget.parent() on one of the children would return a box instead of the GtkHeaderBar.

I've updated the docs. And this will be likely replaced by something more robust in the next major release.
