To change GtkImageMenuitem to make the image/label pair, instead of the label
GTK_BIN(item)->child would be an API change and we are completely API frozen
at this point.

So, it's "just the way it works" 

(we could hack GtkOptionMenu to do something special for
GtkImageMenuItem... but it would a reasonable amount of ugly code.)
