It's been a while since I did any GTK programming, but isn't there a
"MenuMaker" object or some such.  As I recall, what this did was, when
given a set of data, made the appropriate Menu* calls.

It seems to me that this would be the most logical (and the most like
Delphi) way to do menus.  I may bo totally wrong though.
