A Gtk2::Toolbar isa Gtk2::Container, so Gtk2::Container's remove()  
method should do the trick.

If it's a common need for your toolbar contents to change based on  
program actions, you may actually be wanting to use the  
Gtk2::UIManager, instead.  This widget allows you to define sets of  
actions, and merge these into and out of the UI dynamically.  And the  
action-based menus and toolbars are nicer to use, anyway.  ;-)
