I was able to do what you suggested.  Worked as expected.  But after I 
got it done, I had a look at a piece of code that dynamically adds and 
removes items from one of the menus.  This is pretty easy with 
gtk_ui_manager_remove_ui() and gtk_action_group_remove_action.  But I 
don't see any way to remove items from a GtkMenu.  I may just have to 
build the whole menu in code instead of glade.
