Perhaps I'm missing the point, but from the docs at 
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtkoptionmenu.html#GTK-OPTION-MENU-GET-HISTORY, 
there is a function (gtk_option_menu_get_history) that "Retrieves the 
index of the currently selected menu item. The menu items are numbered 
from top to bottom, starting with 0." This sounds like exactly what is 
required.
