Re: problem with custom menu

[John Taber <jtaber johntaber net>]

Thanks for suggestion - it eliminated the error but my menuitems are still not 
showing (to test I added a second one at 0,1,0,2).  I have read the 
documentation but I cannot understand what the table is supposed to do and 
maybe that is where my problem is.  btw other gtk documentation I have showed 
a far simpler way - was this a change in gtk? or in gtkmm? and is the old api 
eliminated just not deprecated?  thanks
John
