Also, when there are GtkMenu defined in a glade file, the
gtk-builder-convert script will generate a GtkUIManager, but if I open
that generated file with glade-3, and save again, the ui manager is
gone... Files saved with glade-3 contains GtkMenuItem widgets but
loading that file generate GtkAction objects instead...

Is there a bug open for that?
