GtkMenuItem bug (I think)

/*
 * I believe the following code demonstrates a Gtk+ bug in the latest
 * CVS version. I am creating a menu item with
 * gtk_menu_item_new_with_label(). Right after it is created, and
 * right before calling gtk_main(), calling gtk_container_children()
 * on it returns a non-empty list. However, calling
 * gtk_container_children() on it from the "activate" signal callback
 * results in NULL. Either there is a bug here or I am majorly
 * misunderstanding something. This behavior has been reproduced by
 * others with this test program.
