I have not been following this in detail, and I'm afraid that I have
very little time for the next few weeks, but ...
1. It's possible that the OptionMenu is not meant to do this. I guess
that the OptionMenu is just an Entry with a menu that allows you to
choose the text of the entry, but after the text has been selected then
the actual menu item that was used is irrelevant. See 3.
2. Can you find an example of a GTK+ or gtkmm application that seems to
do what you want?
3. I know that it's a crappy answer for now, but OptionMenu is
deprecated in gtkmm 2.4, which is not yet stable or widely available.
The new Gtk::ComboBox widget should be a lot simpler and more flexible,
and I think it will do what you want. There is an example already.
