Hello,
This is a cross post from the vala-list. I am working with vala and
gtk2 and have a sort of strange behaviour concerning Gtk.MenuBar.
As someone on the list suggested this might be a gtk issue and not a
vala issue, I thought it's a good idea to also ask here.
Please read the mailtrail, starting all the way down.
Thank you for any advise
Greetz,
Fred
