Bug Description

New build of a fresh checked out transmission [svn://svn.transmissionbt.com/Transmission/trunk] against the newest libdbusmenu-gtk3 (libdbusmenu-gtk-dev) Version 0.3.101-0ubuntu1 produces this message:

(transmission-gtk:3284): LIBDBUSMENU-GTK-CRITICAL **: dbusmenu_gtk_parse_get_cached_item: assertion `GTK_IS_MENU_ITEM(widget)' failed
[https://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/4107]

or even crashes the program (transmission) which was built against this version of the lib. Building against the previous version does not produce this messages or crashes.

Same message with other applications like google-chrome in this example:

Starting deluge currently produces similar error messages on my natty installation, causing deluge to crash.

I get the following error when starting nm-applet. I guess that's why the nm-applet does not show up in the unity panel:

Same here with at least geeqie and handbrake-gtk (ghb). Geequie starts without any further issues but ghb only shows an emtpy canvas.

Honestly, the message is probably overly loud, we need to look into
that. But, it's probably not what's causing your application to crash.
Something else is...

Could someone provide a backtrace of one of the crashes please? That
would probably be most helpful in figuring out what the issue is.
Thanks!

OK, in my case the crashes where NOT caused by libdbusmenu! Excuse me.. That was purely coincidental
But the 'Over loud' messages are a kind of Spam on the console!

Okay, so I'm assuming this bug is about the message being unnecessarily misleading. Fixing.
