[gtkmm] hiding menus only hides children, not top level

[Ann Smith <salingle yahoo com>]

Hi,
I have a menubar with several menus.  I only want to
display certain menus at certain times.

For example, I have a File Menu with menu items, and
an Edit menu with menu items.  I'd like to start by
showing only the file menu.  

If I do
EditMenu->hide_all() 
which is supposed to hide itself and its children, it
only hides the children.  All of the edit menu items
are not shown, but the "Edit" menu item of the menubar
is still shown (with an empty list).  

How do I prevent the top level menu item from showing
up in the menubar?

Thanks!
