Jim, looking at Widget.js and MChildrenHandling.js, I see that there's lots
that happens when you remove() an element from its parent as opposed to
simply setting the widget's layout parent to null. (In fact, the latter is
but one of the things that remove() does.)
If you know the child's parent widget, then try parent.remove(child);
If you don't know the child's parent widget, then try
child.getLayoutParent().remove(child);
Let me know if that helps.
