Description Michael Zeising 2008-10-27 19:41:12 UTC 
For creating a MenuToolItem with UIManager, you have to
 * create a subclass of Action
 * call set_tool_item_type(MenuToolButton)
 * register this subclass for the <toolitem> to be rendered as a MenuToolItem

To me this appears redundant as the UIManager may guess the right action type by looking inside the <toolitem> definition.

Other information:

I'm using PyGTK but this a core issue.

Thanks a lot!

Michael

I just hit this too and would like to see GTK+ handle it more seamlessly.
