The reason the activate callback isn't called is because the handler connected to the menu's show is called once when the doclist menu is shown and once when it's hidden. In that handler, it clears the menu menu before adding current documents, but since it's after the menu is selected but before the activate handlers are run, and it deletes all the items, the handlers are never called.

It can be witnessed by using this completely silly work-around which ensures the show signal handler is only run every other time (just the "shows" not the "hides"):

It might be a GTK+ bug?
