Okay.  I was surprised since I see it *does* add signals to toolbar
buttons so I couldn't figure out why it wasn't doing it for the
GtkCheckMenuItem.  By trial-and-error (and some poking around in the
gtk headers), I finally figured out how to do this from the activate
callback (and then, of course, found it in the documentation
*afterwards*).

Thanks,
