wx MenuItem - icon is missing

[Laszlo Nagy]

    def onPopupMenu(self,evt):
        menu = wx.Menu()
        for title,bitmap in self.getPopupMenuItems():
            item = wx.MenuItem(None,-1,title)
            if bitmap:
                item.SetBitmap(bitmap)
            menu.AppendItem(item)
            menu.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU,self.onPopupMenuItemSelected,item)
        self.PopupMenu( menu, evt.GetPoint())
        menu.Destroy()
I have read somewhere that under GTK, I have to assign the bitmap before 
Append-ing the MenuItem to the Menu. So did I, but it doesn't work. Menu 
item icons are not showing up in Ubuntu. On Windows 7, everything is 
fine. What am I doing wrong?

System: Ubuntu 11 amd64
Python: 2.7.1+
wx.__version__ '2.8.11.0'

Thanks,

   Laszlo
