PyGTK tray menu has annoying scroll arrows

Dec 5th, 2008

I've been working on a simple little PyGTK app that shows an icon in the system tray. When you right-click, the pop-up menu appears as expected. However, first the menu appears with just some up and down scroll arrows, and I have to scroll down before it fills in and shows the 3 items, and then the scroll arrows disappear.

I've searched everywhere (GTK+ API, etc.) and can't seem to find a way to disable those scroll arrows, which are clearly not needed. The relevant code snippet is below...
