gtk_menuitem_select is used (if I'm not mistaken) when the user
drags the mouse over the item as they are navigating the menu.
Calling it at other times is likely to produce unexpected results.

What you probably want is:

void       gtk_option_menu_set_history (GtkOptionMenu *option_menu,
					guint          index);
