It very much depends on which branch you're working with.

  • for 1.4, look in gtk/menu.c
  • for 1.6, look in gtk/menu.c, note there's a lot of UI_MANAGER stuff in there.
  • for trunk, look ui/gtk/ui/main-menubar-ui.xml (assuming you want your changes in the GTK+ interface)

There are other ways to add menus, like registering a statistics menu item.

ui/gtk/ui/main-menubar-ui.xml isn't used you have to edit main_menubar.c or use the tap interface to add a custom menu.
