GTK OPTION MENU

[Mohit Kumar <mohit kumar gmail com>]

Hi All,

This question is pretty trivial, but I have been unable to find a
solution to this and hence I am posting it here, hoping to get a
solution frmo anyone of you.

The scenario is this, I have a list of Names to be displayed in the
GTK OPTION MENU. Now, the list of names is static. When the user
re-opens the dialog, I want the OPTION MENU to show the last selected
name, instead of the first name in the list. I am storing the name in
some structure.

Is there any way to do it? Or i need to draw the OPTION MENU with the
selected name as the first list member( I want to avoid this because
they are in aphabetical order).

For eg. Say the names are 
Albert<-----
Charlie
John
Nathan

And the user selects John, then when he reopens the dialog he should see

Albert
Charlie
John<------
Nathan

In between the 2 calls, the windows is destroyed.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mohit
