gtk_container_remove() is the correct function to use in this case.  If
your item gets destroyed while doing this, it probably indicates that the
menu held the only reference to the menu item.  So gtk_widget_ref the menu
item before removing it, and it should work (remember to release your
reference once you have added the item somewhere else).
