If you set a container as insensitive, all it's children will be
insensitive, so you only have to go to another level if the container
contains an item you want to set sensitive.  Unfortunately, there is not
another way that I know of.  You might checkout
gtkaction/gtkactiongroup.  I've never messed with it, so I'm not sure
what it can do, but there is gtk_action_group_set_sensitive()
