GtkToolItem ?

[Daniel Pekelharing <legendstar gmail com>]

Hi all,

Anyone know if there's any particular reason why the gtk_tool_item
functions (e.g gtk_tool_item_new()) explicitly return a GtkToolItem
instead of a GtkWidget?

It seems (IMHO) a bit inconsistent in relation to all other widget
creation routines..


Another question:

How can I use accelerator paths on a GtkToolItem?

I tried:
gtk_widget_set_accel_path(GTK_WIDGET(tool_item), "<toolbar>/itemx",
accel_group);

On app startup Gtk reports:
Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_set_accel_path: assertion
`GTK_WIDGET_GET_CLASS (widget)->activate_signal != 0' failed

Thanks!
