[Gtk-sharp-list] Custom widgets

Hi,
I'm trying to make a custom widget derived form Gtk.ImageMenuItem.
When I click on the the widget I get the following exception:

Unhandled Exception: GLib.MissingIntPtrCtorException: GLib.Object
subclass Gtk.Ext.ActionMenuItem must provide a protected or public
IntPtr ctor to support wrapping of native object handles.

If I add the IntPtr constructor I get two constructor calls: one when
the custom widget object is created and the other one when the item is
clicked.

public ActionMenuItem (UIAction action) : base (action.Label)
{
	// This is called when the object is created
}

public ActionMenuItem (IntPtr ptr) : base (ptr)
{
	// This is called when the user clicks the MenuItem
}

So it seems that two diferent instances of ActionMenuItem are created,
and if I use any local variables in the ActionMenuItem class a
System.NullReferenceException is thrown when I click on the menu item
because the second instance variables are not initialized.

The funny thing is that sometimes it works fine, I mean, it doesn't
throw the GLib.MissingIntPtrCtorException.

Am I missing something? What should I do to workaround this?. I
appreciate your help.

Cheers,
Rubio

P.S.: The ActionMenuItem class is attached.
