On Ubuntu 10.04

I have some normal drop down menus that would be more useful as tear-off menus 
(i.e. as draggable menus that pop up and stay in the window/dialog).

FOR TOPWINDOW:

To make the tear-off menu appear I use the code:

[code]
   gtk_menu_set_tearoff_state ((GtkMenu *)m->menuwidget, true ) ;
[/code]

This causes the the tear-off menu to appear in the window at current cursor 
position. It is embedded in a window with a title bar. 

The following messages appear when when gtk_menu_set_tearoff_state is executed: 

Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_drawable_get_size: assertion `GDK_IS_DRAWABLE (drawable)' 
failed

 Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_window_get_position: assertion `GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' 
failed   repeated about ten times

I then click a menu item in the tear-off menu and get around 50 more 
gdk_window_get_position: assertion messages.

The action event of the menu item is not carried out, but menu items change 
colour when I move the cursor above them..


FOR MENUS IN DIALOGS:

Using the same gtk_menu_set_tearoff_state function this time the error message 
is:

Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_drawable_get_size: assertion `GDK_IS_DRAWABLE (drawable)' 
failed

and only that.

The tear-off menu is not clickable. When I move the cursor over it the menu 
items do not change colour.

Of course I could use a listbox (=listview with one column) but that would 
involve a fair amount of extra work. The tear-off menu is exactly what I need, 
but how can I make it work?

Grateful for advice.
