You can do exactly what you do on startup, it works just fine! The one
thing you may need to consider is explicitly showing the widgets, as
they won't be caught by show_all(). (Or call show_all() again, of
course.)

I do this quite a bit in Gypsum, a GTK application written in Pike. On
reload, Gypsum will recreate its menu bar and other widgets. The
relevant code is here:
