GtkRadioMenuItem set active problem

[Jeff Franks <jcf tpg com au>]

Hi,

I've come across a problem with GtkRadioMenuItem. The only way to set 
the active item in a group is to call 'gtk_check_menu_item_set_active' 
which also emits an 'activate' signal. This is ok when a program is up 
and running but when you are initializing a program, emitting an 
'activate' signal can be undesireable. When adding a group of 
radiomenuitems all you really want to do is let GtkRadioMenuItem know 
which way to draw its indicator. Since 
'gtk_radio_menu_item_draw_indicator' checks 'GtkCheckMenuItem::active' 
before drawing the indicator wouldn't it be reasonable to let 
GtkRadioMenuItem have a way to set/unset this flag without emitting an 
'activate signal. The best place for this might be as extra parameter in 
the 'gtk_radio_menu_item_new' functions.

Jeff.
