Is there any chance you would reconsider about this Owen?  It would make 
libglade handle GtkRadioMenuItems a lot better (I have already solved 
the case of GtkWidget type properties once, and it would be good if that 
code can be reused here).  It would match up with GtkRadioButton better 
as well.
