I finaly found this in the gtk 2.0 docs.  it does not appear to be in the gtk 1.2 docs.  Also, later in the 
same code
fragment we have:

{ "/_Preferences/Shape/_Square",        NULL, gtk_ifactory_cb, 0, "<RadioItem>" },
{ "/_Preferences/Shape/_Rectangle",     NULL, gtk_ifactory_cb, 0, "/Preferences/Shape/Square" },
{ "/_Preferences/Shape/_Oval",  NULL, gtk_ifactory_cb, 0, "/Preferences/Shape/Rectangle" },

In this fragment the path is taken from the immeditaely preceding item whereas in your fragment they are both
taken from the first item.  I presume both are valid?
