OK, now I feel like a moron.  I started Glade and opened
data-editor.glade.  I double-clicked on data_editor in the
inspector treeview, which made the data editor dialog appear, and
then I expanded vbox1 and menubar.  At this point I cannot figure
out how to add a menu.  I clicked on the Popup Menu control,
which added a menu at the top level of the Inspector treeview,
not under the menubar, and cutting and pasting doesn't seem to
move it properly.  And even if I got that to work, I can't see
how to create a menu item.

I'm probably missing something obvious.  Any suggestion what that
might be?
