Hmm, I reported a related bug...

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=564063

You may want to discuss your opinion about that behavior
on the said bug, or on gtk-devel-list... personally I think it
should be a configurable property of the GtkMenuItem,
whether to add a default left margin even when there are
no icons, or not.

If we were really fancy we could allow you to group items
between their separators and have some groups that had margins
for icons or check marks, and some groups dont have margins
(maybe I missed some functionality in gtk+ that already lets you do that...)

Cheers,
