[Glade-users] cant find a way to create drop downs in toolbar buttons using glade

[Tristan Van Berkom]

This is a long long standing open bug, glade just doesnt do it.

GtkMenuToolButton is working in terms of load and save but theres
just no way to add a menu to the menutoolbutton as a child.

Cheers,
                        -Tristan

Developer notes about fixing the problem:

This should probably be done in the post-create-function of the menutoolbutton
(it should just create a menu and add it so that menutoolbuttons come with
a menu by default).
