The docs aren't exactly clear on this subject, at least not with the sort of reading glasses I usually have on when I don't exactly want to be reading them ;)

That much is clear, because it takes ownership of the layout (THAT is clearly documented).

>You need to unparent them, then delete combined. Layouts allocate pixels and resize things, they don't own them, AFAIK.

Setting their parent back to what it was (nullptr) did the trick indeed, regardless of who really owned them.

I guess I didn't try this yet because I'm never certain if taking ownership is really only done through making yourself a parent.
