The leading zeroes in the wchars will make g_print and the NSString import routines think that you've submitted a zero-length string, because they expect single-byte characters. You can test it by transcoding the result of gtk_menu_item_get_label in your g_print statement.

Only UTF-8 (they are GTK menu items, so they have to be UTF-8). After
more debugging I found more strange things. It seems that many labels
are first found as NULL and later with a name:

found label 0x186e2a8 for 'H1' ('(null)')
found label 0x186e348 for 'H2' ('(null)')
found label 0x186e3e8 for 'H3' ('(null)')
found label 0x0 for '(null)' ('(null)')
found label 0x0 for '(null)' ('(null)')

next run:

found label 0x186e2a8 for 'H1' ('(null)')
found label 0x186e348 for 'H2' ('(null)')
found label 0x186e3e8 for 'H3' ('(null)')
found label 0x186e488 for 'H4' ('(null)')
found label 0x0 for '(null)' ('(null)')

does this sound logically to you? I call sync several times during
startup (several functions that change menu's are also called during
startup), perhaps that is related? At least it doesn't look very good
for the performance (looping over all menu items for every menu item).

will do
