That's probably a bug the beta SDK, I can confirm that the example is
correct using the latest libhildon version.

You have to explicitely show each menu item for it to appear when the
menu pops up. gtk_widget_show_all() is the easiest and recommended way
to do it.

If the menu still appears after removing that call then the hildon
version in the SDK is quite old.

What's the version of libhildon that you're using? That bug should be
fixed in 2.1.40.
