I didn't even notice that, sorry.  This SEEMS to work... :)

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

static GtkWidget *text;  // delete declaration in main()

 ...

gint menu_item_activate_cb (GtkWidget *menuitem, gpointer data)
{
        GtkWidget *label = GTK_BIN (menuitem)->child;
        gchar *label_string;

        gtk_label_get (GTK_LABEL (label), &label_string);
        g_print ("%s\n", label_string);


        GTK_TEXT (text)->button = 0;

        return FALSE;
}

 ...

Hopefully someone else knows the right way of doing it.
