Thanks, with a class variable it works too.
Here is my code:

using Gtk;
public class MenuToolAction : Action
{
    class construct
    {
        toolbar_item_type = typeof (MenuToolButton);
    }

    public MenuToolAction (string name, string? label, string? tooltip,
string? stock_id)
    {
        GLib.Object (name: name, label: label, tooltip: tooltip, stock_id:
stock_id);
    }
}

Now I have a question... How can I modify gtk+-2.0.vapi without copying it
entirely in the code of my project? I just want to add the line you give.

Or can this line be included in the "official" vapi? I can make a bug
report. But if it is done for GtkActionClass.toolbar_item_type, then it must
also be done for all the others (e.g.
GtkWidgetClass.set_scroll_adjustments_signal).
