GtkItemFactory should not affect this, since it just creates the same 
widgets you'd get if you constructed the menus manually.  The problem 
Murray has run into is due to gtkmm using alternative widgets for 
everything (so instead of a GtkMenuItem, it uses a gtkmm__GtkMenuItem, 
which is a subclass of the first).

I'd guess that the yelp issue has a different cause (although it might 
be related).
