the following will process events until there are none pending.
   Gtk2->main_iteration while (Gtk2->events_pending);

if you were to put that before the sleep call the sensitive change should take
effect first. not sure why you'd be sleeping in a gui app (thus making the ui
unresponsive.) if you're wanting something to happen at a later time take a
look at Glib::Timeout->add (g_timeout_add.) as it may be a better option.
