Re: Menu bar items without icon indent

[Yu Feng <rainwoodman gmail com>]

I've just written a similar widget.

You should subclass GtkMenuItem,
override toggle_size_request, return zero to the *requistion parameter.

implement the creation methed
new_with_label(),
put a GtkLabel as the child of the bin in the creation method.

You may also need to override size_allocate and size_request method.

Good Luck!
Yu
