for gtk+ 1.2, you can listen to the "changed" signal on the menu and
store the currently selected item inside that callback.  to reset the
menu, use gtk_option_menu_set_history with the original value.  when you
upgrade to 2.x, you can just use gtk_option_menu_get_history to get the
current value, and set_history to change it.
