Yep, Gtk2::ImageMenuItem::set_image requires a Gtk2::Image widget, not a
Gtk2::Gdk::Pixbuf object.

You should create a new Gtk2::Image widget to pass to the ::set_image
method, like this:

  my $menu_item = Gtk2::ImageMenuItem->new;
  my $pixbuf = $form->render_icon('gtk-index', 'menu');
- $menu_item->set_image($pixbuf);
+ my $image = Gtk2::Image->new_from_pixbuf($pixbuf);
+ $menu_item->set_image($image);


Hint: if the apidoc is ambiguous, go to the C API reference, at:

        http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/

It should make things easier.

 Emmanuele.
