you need something similar to this (this is for a regular menu where you
need the state of the menu-entry):

g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT(menuitem),
"activate",G_CALLBACK(blabla_callback), some_data_pointer);

static void blabla_callback(GtkMenuItem *menuitem,gpointer
some_data_pointer) {
        if (GTK_CHECK_MENU_ITEM(menuitem)->active) {
                /* do something */
        } else {
                /* do something else */
        }
}

I hope this helps,
        Olivier
