I suspect the problem isn't in that file.

I checked in a change to gtk/menu.c that removes the
"gtk_widget_destroy()" call in "remove_menu_recent_capture_file()", as
that's the one that was causing that error in my GTK+ 1.2.10 builds, at
least.  It appears that if you remove a menu item from the menu, the
menu item gets freed (the code path appears to cause that to happen) -
and freeing it might overwrite it, so that the checks done by GTK+ to
make sure it's a widget fail.
