You could put all those widgets in a container, and then just remove the
container. When the container is removed from the parent window, the
reference count will reach zero and it, along with all its children, will
be destroyed.

This is a question about Gtk+ more than Gnome, so it might be more
appropriate for gtk-app-devel-list (see www.gtk.org for info). No harm
done.

You also might want to make use of the resources on developer.gnome.org.
