Yeah, I didn't read your whole e-mail chain until now.

GtkWidget and GtkAction are different classes. You will need to use two 
callback functions. If you don't care about the first argument, you 
could make stubs for the initial callback functions and have them call 
your standard callback function.

The only way to do away with separate functions would be to use 
gtk_menu* functions and create your menu in C. I am more familiar with 
raw C so someone more familiar with GtkBuilder may have a better 
solution, but I don't see one.
