I used gnome_app_create_menus() with all that GNOMEUIInfo crap.

I think I understand what you mean now tho...
The name of the GNOMEUIInfo has pointers to the menu items?

ex:
GNOMEUIInfo menu1 [] =
{
      GNOMEUIINFO_SUBTREE("_File", filemenu),
      GNOMEUIINFO_SUBTREE("_Edit", editmenu),
}

what exactly is menu1[0] pointing to after the menu us built?

Later,
