The gtk-interface does not care, if you first create the child handles and
then attach the menu item, or if you attach and then create the child
handles.

I think, it would be better if the childs are created first and then the
menu item is attached. This was the case some months ago, but for some
strange win32 reasons it was necessary to switch it.

Can we switch back.
