Re: Getting label of a menu item

[Ori Idan <ori helicontech co il>]

I created the menu items using 'gtk_menu_item_new_with_label' so I guess 
there should be a way to read the label.
I don't know why it has to be so complicated, why not add a simple 
function to read the label as I think it is a very
common task.
What I did was to add a string to the menu item using 
'g_object_set_data' but this seems to me as just adding more
complexity for something that should be done otherwise.
