GMenu.factory is actually unrelated to GtkItemFactory.
It's intent was to provide a well-typed approach to the easy
construction of menus, which the string-based GtkItemFactory doesn't.
If you look at examples, like editor2.ml, you will see that the
GMenu.factory approach does not require too much effort.
