    <title>Description</title>

    <para>A <link
linkend="class-gtkmenushell"><classname>gtk.MenuShell</classname></link> is
the abstract base class used to derive the <link
linkend="class-gtkmenu"><classname>gtk.Menu</classname></link> and <link
linkend="class-gtkmenubar"><classname>gtk.MenuBar</classname></link>
subclasses. A <link
linkend="class-gtkmenushell"><classname>gtk.MenuShell</classname></link> is
a container of <link
linkend="class-gtkmenuitem"><classname>gtk.MenuItem</classname></link>
objects arranged in a list which can be navigated, selected, and activated
by the user to perform application functions. A <link
linkend="class-gtkmenuitem"><classname>gtk.MenuItem</classname></link> can
have a submenu associated with it, allowing for nested hierarchical
menus.</para>

<parameter>take_focus</parameter> is <literal>True</literal> the menu shell
will take the keyboard focus so that it will receive all keyboard events to
enable keyboard navigation in menus.</para>

      <para>Setting the "take-focus" property to <literal>False</literal> is
useful only for special applications like virtual keyboard implementations
which should not take keyboard focus.</para>

      <para>The "take-focus" state of a menu or menu bar is automatically
propagated to submenus whenever a submenu is popped up, so you don't have to
worry about recursively setting it for your entire menu hierarchy. Only when
programmatically picking a submenu and popping it up manually, should the
"take-focus" property of the submenu be set explicitly.</para>

      <para>Note that setting it to False has side-effects:</para>

      <itemizedlist>
        <listitem>
          <para>If the focus is in some other app, it keeps the focus and
keyboard navigation in the menu doesn't work. Consequently, keyboard
navigation on the menu will only work if the focus is on some toplevel owned
by the onscreen keyboard.</para>
        </listitem>

        <listitem>
          <para>To avoid confusing the user, menus with the "take-focus"
property set to <literal>False</literal> should not display mnemonics or
accelerators, since they may not work.</para>
