This can be accomplished like so

GtkWidget *menuitem;
GtkWidget *hbox;
GtkWidget *label;
GtkWidget *pixmap;

menuitem = gtk_menu_item_new();
hbox = gtk_hbox_new(FALSE, 5);
label = gtk_label_new("menu item");
pixmap = gtk_pixmap_new(some_gdkpixmap,some_gdkbitmap);
gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(hbox), pixmap, FALSE, FALSE, 0);
gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(hbox), label, FALSE, FALSE, 0);
gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(menuitem), hbox);
gtk_menu_append(GTK_MENU(somemenu), menuitem);

I dont know about this, but I suppose it can be done using some position
function or something, I could be wrong, check gtkmenu.h
