If you're talking about GTK3, MenuItem with images are deprecated! but... if GTK2, you can use GtkImageMenuItem in conjunction to GtkImage and then use gtk_image_menu_item_set_image (gtk_image_item); [1] or use it with stock i.e. gtk_image_menu_item_new_from_stock ("stock-id", accel_group); [2] and also if GTK3, you should use GMenu (probably from a XML UI), see this quotation[3] from Emmanuele Bassi: "GAction replaces GtkAction; images on menus have been discouraged for years, and the whole menu system has been replaced by GMenu XML descriptions that can be exported on the session bus.
