http://developer.gnome.org/doc/GGAD/

is an excellent reference. Also see http://developer.gnome.org and

Note that when you call gtk_widget_show(GtkWidget* my_widget); all the
children of my_widget are also shown. Perhaps you want to populate the
list after calling create_my_widget(); and before gtk_widget_show();?

In the glade palette, pop-up menus are on the gtk+ additional tab and menu
bars are on the gtk+ basic tab. Does that help?
