It should.  You can't mimic the GtkImageMenuItem layout (at
least not easily), so you can't mix GtkImageMenuItems and
manually created menu items with images in one menu, but if
you have images with atypical sizes, you probably want to
control the packing more precisely anyway.

IMO the whole thing is broken conceptually somehow, because
GtkMenuShell uses toggle_size_request() method to obtain the
size of the image part of the menu item -- which is *one*
number, not two.  And this one number is then happily used
in both width and height calculations.
