well, the menubar itself doesn't appear to be of GnomeUIInfo type.
e.g., here are the calls i'm making:

	gnome_app_create_menus(GNOME_APP(w->toplev), main_menu);
	gnome_app_install_menu_hints(GNOME_APP(w->toplev), main_menu);

where "main_menu" is an array of GnomeUIInfo structures.  however, this
is a global variable, and is used for menu definitions more than once
in the application.  i suppose i could make another copy of this, but
the majority of the information in this menu is the same (such as
the menu text, callbacks, etc.), so it's rather wasteful.

one of the things that's variable is the widgets from the menu items
(the toggle buttons, radio buttons, whatever).  i was hoping that:

	GNOME_APP(w->toplev)->menubar

could be used to get to the specific toggle/radio button widgets.
is this possible?  or am i misunderstanding how this is supposed
to work?  certainly, a gnome app could have more than one menubar...
