You're wanting to put a Gtk2::Calendar in a menu?

ObQuery:  What are you trying to do?


Although the signature says that gtk_menu_shell_insert() can take any 
old GtkWidget*,  GtkMenuShell can only hold GtkMenuItems.  
gtk_menu_shell_insert() in fact asserts that the child you pass to it 
is a GtkMenuItem.  Of course, a GtkCalendar is not a menu item, and 
GtkItemFactory uses gtk_menu_shell_insert() at a low level.

If you're trying to create a button that pops up a handy calendar to 
let you chose a date, you'll need to do more and different work; create 
and handle the popup window yourself.  The cellrenderer-date.pl example 
shipped with the Gtk2 module (also available via viewcvs on our 
webpage) has a reasonably well-debugged example.

this range is sufficient to represent all possible times depends on the 
ultimate fate of the universe, but it can be expected to postpone 
overflow long enough for such implementation limits to be abolished.
