OK, I'm midding something here.  What would be swallowed?  Maybe we'd
better use GtkWidget names to reduce ambiguity.

Are you saying that the GtkMenuItem which has a submenu has (in Gtk
hierarchy) a single child that is a GtkMenu ?  in that case maybe we
should swallow the enclosing GtkMenuItem instead...
