  <p>The GtkMenuButton widget is used to display a menu when clicked on. This menu can be provided either as a GtkMenu, or an abstract GMenuModel.

The GtkMenuButton widget can hold any valid child widget. That is, it can hold almost any other standard GtkWidget. The most commonly used child is the provided GtkArrow.</p>

<note><p>You need to be running GNOME 3.6 for the MenuButton to work.</p></note>
