OK, that gave me the right push. I looked around and found a way to do
it with gtk.UIManager. It's quite hairy though, but I guess the extra
complexity is the price of extra flexibilty.

I'm just taking a first dive into gtk/gnome world, so I have no idea
what the current trends are. Is the statement above generally valid,
or mostly for python bindings only? E.g. is libgnomeui scheduled to be
subsumed completely in gtk one day, so we should avoid also bits that
are not yet deprecated (like GnomeApp and GnomeAppBar)?

Thanks!
