If it can be of any help, I faced the same problem and end up doing the
toolbar with ui manager and then adding
a menutoolbutton later.
I paste my few lines of code (in python, don't have this in gtkmm) if can
be of help:
inst.recent_menu_2 = gtk.Menu()
...
menu_toolbutton = gtk.MenuToolButton("gtk-open")
menu_toolbutton.set_tooltip_text(_("Open a CherryTree Document"))
menu_toolbutton.set_arrow_tooltip_text(_("Open a Recent CherryTree
Document"))
menu_toolbutton.set_menu(inst.recent_menu_2)
menu_toolbutton.connect("clicked", inst.file_open)
inst.ui.get_widget("/ToolBar").insert(menu_toolbutton, 9)
Cheers,
Giuseppe.
