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

Ann,
Why would you want to dynamically hide top level menus? That breaks a lot
of HCI guidelines. Dynamic menu content is bad enough but changing the
available menu's themselves sounds horrible.

I'm curious to know why this would be useful.
