Well,
   I wasn't sugesting that you link with glade (which wouldn't work
anyway), just sugesting that you look at the code I wrote to get the
feel of how to do it yourself.

Hmm,
     then your probably better off writing some menu specific code;
rather than writing GObject based generic code.

Heres an idea thats kindof a shot in the dark:

    - Build your first menu and make it the "master" menu (i.e. always
      base your replicas on the "master menu"), use GtkUIManager for it.

    - When building your replica menu(s), use
      `gtk_ui_manager_get_ui (master_menu)'.

Seems like it should work, but it might be a naive guess :-/

HTH,
