Actually, it (usually) doesn't.

     GtkWidget *frame = gtk_frame_new("Checkbox");
     GtkWidget *check = gtk_check_button_new_with_label("aargh");

     gtk_toggle_button_set_active(GTK_TOGGLE_BUTTON(check), TRUE);
     gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(frame),check);

     gtk_widget_show(check);
     gtk_widget_show(frame);

Cheers,
Dave.
