Description David Malcolm 2004-08-02 16:18:54 UTC 
Parts of my UI are built at runtime, so I use gtk_ui_manager_add_ui to
supplement the bits build from an XML description.

This didn't work for me, until I read this:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-app-devel-list/2004-July/msg00263.html

It appears that the UI path must _NOT_ have a leading slash, or the function
fails.  It works if you leave off the leading slash (this was using GTK 2.4.0, IIRC)

David,

it appears that for add_ui(), either ui/toolbar/... or /toolbar/... will work,
while for get_widget(), /ui/toolbar/... works as well. That is a bit unfortunate,
and it would probably be best to make sure that /ui/toolbar works for add_ui() as 
well, and treat the fact that ui/toolbar works as an accident...
