Generating complex toolbars with GtkUIManager

[Laurent Sansonetti <laurent sansonetti gmail com>]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to integrate GtkUIManager in a small project, and
I was wondering if it's possible to handle complex toolbars (with text
entries, dropdown lists, etc...).

Here is a screenshot of the current toolbar, generated with Glade:

The View as... action is currently repeated 4 times: in the View menu,
in the toolbar and in 2 popup menus (you can easily understand why I'm
interested in GtkUIManager :)).

Is it possible to create a dropdown list with those actions in a
toolbar using GtkUIManager?  It seems to be OK for the menu and the
popups (since it is a submenu), but in the case of the toolbar the
only available widget seems to be GtkToolItem.  Same question for a
text entry.

Many thanks in advance,
