Can't connect control to activate signal

[Matthew J Hicks <mhicks us ibm com>]

I have been trying to create a control with a menu structure that will
merge into my container's menu (and hopefully Nautilus's menu) with no
luck.  So far, I have been able to create a very simple container (source
not included to keep the email shorter) that can merge controls with menus
such as the GNOME_EOG_Control.  I have also created my own
GNOME_Test_Control but unfortunately, it's menu does not merge with my
container's menus.  The widget label is displayed in the container - only
the menu merging doesn't take place.  I have looked through the
documentation, but haven't found any simple examples of menu merging.

I think that the problem is that my activate callback is not being called.
I put some debug statements in the libbonoboui package and the "activate"
signal is being emitted, but just not received in my control.  I have tried
the gtk_signal_connect and the g_signal_connect methods, but neither appear
to work.  If someone could help me out, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
