that code showed how to integrate a pre-existing menu item + sub-menu
widget (GtkRecentChooserMenu) with a GtkUIManager; as of GTK+ 2.12 it's
not needed anymore, as GtkRecentAction is available exactly for that
purpose.
if your menu hierarchy is static and you just want to add a menu item
with a sub-menu, then just do:
<menu>
<menuitem .../>
<menu>
<menuitem .../>
<menuitem .../>
...
</menu>
<menuitem .../>
...
</menu>
if, on the other hand, your menu hierarchy is dynamically generated, you
can either use a placeholder and the switch in/out menu items or you can
use a GtkAction subclass that provides a menu item with its own
sub-menu, exactly like I did in my recent-uimanager example.
my preferences go to the object-oriented approach, because it's cleaner
and easier to swap in or out of a project. and creating a new GObject
isn't that much work, compared to hooking into a placeholder.

Emmanuele.
