Re: GtkImageMenuItem:: forall includes the internal GtkImage Widget?

["BJörn Lindqvist" <bjourne gmail com>]

I guess you are right. Other gtkbin containers do not include the
widget set with set_image in their foreach list. I still think that
the documentation is ambiguous on this, because it is not exactly
clear which widgets should be treated as internal and which should
not.

Is there a specific problem that gtk_image_menu_item_foreach is
causing other than being wrong?

It is a good idea to report this issue on Bugzilla, otherwise it will
probably be forgotten.
