This doesn't answer your question, but have you considered having all
of your widgets in the same window, then sensitizing/desensitizing
them as needed? Another alternative is to destroy the base, then
create a new one; of course, this only works if the base is at the end
of the hierarchy.

I've done this on one occasion - the trick is to use a "non-organized"
base (i.e., without the /COLUMN or /ROW keyword) as the "container" for
all the bases that should pop up at the same place.
For example:
top = widget_base(/row)
container = widget_base(top)
popup1 = widget_base(container,/row,map=0) ; (or /column)
; Declare everything inside popup1
popup2 = widget_base(container,/row,map=0)
; etcetera
; etcetera
widget_control,top,/realize
