NAME

DESCRIPTION

When a MenuItem is in a "Gtk2::Menu" a "destroy" happens automatically. Dropping the last ref to a Menu calls "destroy" on its children, as usual for a container. But if you remove a MenuItem with a label from a menu (or never add it to one) then be sure to "$item->destroy" explicitly.
