Thanks for suggestion - it eliminated the error but my menuitems are still not showing (to test I added a second one at 0,1,0,2). I have read the documentation but I cannot understand what the table is supposed to do and maybe that is where my problem is. btw other gtk documentation I have showed a far simpler way - was this a change in gtk? or in gtkmm? and is the old api eliminated just not deprecated? thanks John
