When you delete a widget, all its connections are automatically 
canceled.  So you can simply delete it.  If you still need it for later, 
then follow Bo Thorsen's advice; although the disconnect() call is not 
really necessary if the widget only sends signals and doesn't receive 
any, since when you hide the button, it cannot be interacted with and 
thus it will emit no signals.  You can simply hide() it without doing a 
disconnect().
