  I was hoping to attach "test" as a menu and then do a menu_append on the test
widget to append the plugins' menus.

  I guess I tried that, but was not successfull. I will take a look at the docs
for gtk_widget_parent.

  It seems that placeholders don;t help in this case -- perhaps I am missing
something.

  Thanks for the help.

Harring.
