Re: bonobo_ui_handler_menu_set_toggle_state

Ettore, thanks for youre reply.

I have at least for now used a workaround for this problem. Before calling
set_toggle_state I save the callback function and then set the callback
function to NULL. Then I call set_toggle_state. Then I restore the callback
function.

This works for my purposes, but feels like a hack. However, I will defer to
the Bonobo maintainers the question of whether or not set_toggle_state
should trigger the callback function.
