Re: Using Gtk.Builder to create a menubar.

see here:

https://wiki.gnome.org/HowDoI/GAction

self.interface_info = """
>         <interface>
>           <menu id='TheMenu'>
>             <section>
>               <attribute name='foo'>Foo</attribute>
>               <item>
>                 <attribute name='bar'>Bar</attribute>
>               </item>
>             </section>
>           </menu>
>         </interface>
>         """


for every <item> you want to set at least two attributes: "name" and
"action". it should be

self.interface_info = """
        <interface>
          <menu id='TheMenuModel'>
            <section>
              <attribute name='foo'>Foo</attribute>
              <item>
                <attribute name='bar'>Bar</attribute>
                <attribute name="action">win.bar</attribute>
              </item>
            </section>
          </menu>
        </interface>
"""

you get the GMenuModel from the builder
menumodel = builder.get_object('TheMenuModel')
and you create a menubar widget from the menumodel:

menubar = Gtk.MenuBar.new_from_model(menumodel)
