Real time removal of toolitem

[Neil Munro <neilmunro gmail com>]

Hey
      I was wondering if it is possible to remove a tool item from a
toolbar instantly, I am working with some preferences on my app and
want to have the preference changes displayed instantly, I have tried
to destroy the widget but it still works, am I missing something or is
it just not supported?

I don't see why it's not supported as a toolitem is a widget and
should be destroyed like all other widgets and I have tried the while(
gtk_pending_events( ) )... trick and that's not worked so does anyone
have any ideas?

Thanks,
