The widget you get for "/ui/ToolsMenu" is not the pane you add new
items to, it's the button that the pane will drop down from. You can
get the GtkMenu which ToolsMenu displays by getting the 'test' item
and then doing gtk_widget_parent().

I expect there's a clever way to make programmable menus appear and
disappear by merging XML schema with placeholders ... but I've not
tried that.
