Dear Reuben,

thanks for your hint.

This works. Disconnecting the "model" from the "view" before doing
clear is the key. But very uncomfortable.

What not worked was to unselect before doing clear. I don't understand
why.

This all sounds to me like a mystic behaviour what could be a bug. But
I am not deep enough into Gtk so I won't open an official report about
this. It is on the core devs and experts in that list to decide if this
is an serious issue or not.
