how to hide a widget before it receives a button release ?

[Paul Barton-Davis <pbd Op Net>]

i have a clist. i get the select_row signal. i want to hide the
clist because i am done with it (for now).

however, if i do this when from the select_row signal handler, then
the clist never gets the button release signal, which leads to some
flaky behaviour for the next couple of button events.

any clues ?
