Re: gtk_box_pack: assertion `child->parent == NULL

[Yann LEYDIER <yann leydier info>]

As menus can popup, I would expect them to be attached to some kind of 
window and therefore to have a parent, thus the failed assertion…

Maybe you could try to simulate a menu with buttons (calling 
but.set_relief(Gtk::RELIEF_NONE)) or a treeview (calling 
tv.set_hover_selection(true)) ?
