MenuFactory's factory_find returns pointer to MenuPath. Thus, use
Gtk_MenuPath * mp=factory->factory_find("<MyApp>/Help");
Gtk_MenuItem *mi=(Gtk_MenuItem*)mp->widget; // dangerous cast
mi->right_justify();

MenuPath does not have default constructor => you cannot create objects
of that type cept from existing C object.

thats more difficult - and the conversion isnt the cleanest available...
I think I should change that widget member to be of type Gtk_MenuItem to
make it more useful without casts.
