You need to attach submenu to GtkMenuItem. Something like this:

GtkWidget *menu,
          *submenu,
          *item;

menu = gtk_menu_new ();

item = gtk_menu_item_new_with_label ("Submenu");
gtk_menu_shell_append (GTK_MENU_SHELL (menu), item);

submenu = gtk_menu_new ();
gtk_menu_item_set_submenu (GTK_MENU_ITEM (item), submenu);

Cheers,
Tadej
