setting the style of a menubar menu item ?

[Paul Barton-Davis <pbd Op Net>]

I have the following widget arrangement:

 +-HBox----------------------------------------------+
 |+---------------------+     +---------------------+| 
 ||                     |     |                     ||
 || button              |     | menubar w/1 item    ||
 |+---------------------+     +---------------------+|
 +---------------------------------------------------+

i want to set the font used by the menubar item to the same as the one
used by the button. normally, i use gtk_widget_set_name() to do this,
and then define the style in an rc file. in this case, both the button
and the widget will use the same style.

however, i can't figure out which widget i should be setting the name
of. i tried both the widget returned by gtk_item_factory_create_item()
and the one returned by gtk_item_factory_get_menubar_widget(), but
neither seems to result in the font changing. in both cases, the text
of the menubar item is in the font of the default style.

hints ?
