Did Glade at least give you a warning after loading the old
Glade file, converting it and saving it (at save time) ?

It looks like either
  a.) You did not convert the old Glade file using Glade
and or
  b.) You are running an old version of GTK+ unsupported
       by your Glade file (there should be a <requires> tag
       specifying the minimum required version, configure this
       from your project's preferences dialog).

Note that GTK+ < 2.16 does not natively support building
of menus and that Glade 3.6 only converts to native menu
representation (i.e. no roundabout building of uimanagers
that build menus).

I am extra curious about how you ended up with an
internal "image" in a GtkImageMenuItem (if I'm guessing
your Glade file correctly), those are supposed to be
internal only in libglade format and referenced (by object
type property) in GtkBuilder format.

Cheers,
