The "file-changed" signal is emitted if file-monitor is true and the input file being monitored has changed.
The following signals are connected-up for all widgets:
button-press-event, button-release-event, configure-event, enter-notify-event, leave-notify-event, focus-in-event, focus-out-event, hide, show, realize, key-press-event, key-release-event, map-event, unmap-event

- Theme icons default to 16 and do not scale or refresh (the height or width directives can be used to request a size).
This widget must be the child of a menubar widget or another menu widget.
