## Description

In general, this is just a GtkMenu, why else would you care? Oh, because this menu is created by someone else on a server that exists on the other side of DBus. You need a DbusmenuServer to be able push the data into this menu.

The first thing you need to know is how to find that DbusmenuServer on DBus. This involves both the DBus name and the DBus object that the menu interface can be found on. Those two value should be set when creating the object using `dbusmenu_gtkmenu_new()`. They are then stored on two properties “dbus-name” and “dbus-object”.

After creation the DbusmenuGtkMenu it will continue to keep in synchronization with the DbusmenuServer object across Dbus. If the number of entries change, the menus change, if they change thier properties change, they update in the items. All of this should be handled transparently to the user of this object.
