Description
The GtkMenuItem is the fundamental building block of all menus. These widgets are responsible for holding valid children that will make up the menu. Their function is to correctly handle highlighting, alignment, events and the addition of sub-menus.
Since this widget derives itself from GtkBin, it can hold any valid child widget, although only a few may aid in the creation of menus.
