[pygtk] trouble creating a gtk.MenuToolButton

[Eike Nicklas]

Hi list,

I am trying to populate a gtk.MenuToolButton with a menu. Since
uimanager sadly seems to have no support for menutoolbuttons, I am
trying to create one by hand with (complete code attached):

menubutton = gtk.MenuToolButton(gtk.STOCK_PREFERENCES)
menu = gtk.Menu()
menu_item = gtk.MenuItem('some menu item')
menu.append(menu_item)
menubutton.set_menu(menu)
toolbar = gtk.Toolbar()
toolbar.insert(menubutton, 0)

The button shows up fine, but the drop-down menu is empty. What am I
missing?

Thanks a lot for your help,
Eike
