I have a program where I have a list that is supposed to reflect the content of 
a directory.
When I want to refresh it, I clear it and add entries again. The list is 
automatically updated on the screen.

If it doesn't work with menus (it seems that GTK doesn't like updating displayed 
objects), what about using gtk_xxxx_new and gtk_widget_destroy ?

If you are using Glade, it automatically creates a create_blah_blah function for 
each root of the widget tree (have a look to the main.c file it generates).
