I am not aware of any UIManager syntax for that. For the one case where
I need that (a throbber) I just have a call to

gtk_menu_item_set_right_justified

in my code that inserts a widget there.

Incidentally right justified Help menus are not considered very
agreeable anymore since a long time, so it might be a chance to think
that menu over.
