Gnumeric's use is in go_combo_popup_reparent which pretty much mirrors
gtk_menu_reparent.

Note, that GTK_OBJECT_SET_FLAGS is a macro.  Fixing it will not help
programs compiled against, say, gtk+ 2.6 headers.  If the user updates
gtk+, the application breaks, i.e., no ABI stability.

Do we _really_ need this ABI change or can it wait for gtk+ 3?
