-A #GtkOptionMenu is a widget that allows the user to choose from a
-list of valid choices.  The #GtkOptionMenu displays the selected 
-choice.  When activated the #GtkOptionMenu displays a popup #GtkMenu 
-which allows the user to make a new choice.

-Using a #GtkOptionMenu is simple; build a #GtkMenu, by calling
-gtk_menu_new(), then appending menu items to it with 
-gtk_menu_shell_append(). Set that menu on the option menu 
-with gtk_option_menu_set_menu(). Set the selected menu item with
-gtk_option_menu_set_history(); connect to the "changed" signal on
-the option menu; in the "changed" signal, check the new selected 
-menu item with gtk_option_menu_get_history().
