Debug a bit deeper into get_menu_label_text and find_menu_label and make sure that the widget that's getting passed to them does in fact have a label attached to it.

For multiple windows, you need to call ige_mac_menu_set_menu_bar on each window's GtkMenuBar after you create it. Ige_mac_menu will set up the signal handler so that the menu follows the focus. See my second message on April 2 for details about the bug with ige_mac_menu_set_app_menu_item, which will cause the app_menu "quit" item to stop working. Also, if you use the stock menu items (or actions, if you're using GtkUIBuilder), they'll magically change from (e.g.) ctrl-F to cmd-F, which is what Mac users expect.
