Remember that you have to gtk_widget_show your menuitem. Something like
this:

GtkWidget* random = gtk_check_menu_item_new_with_label (_("Random"));
gtk_check_menu_item_set_active(GTK_CHECK_MENU_ITEM(random), TRUE);
xfce_panel_plugin_menu_insert_item(plugin,GTK_MENU_ITEM(random)); 
gtk_widget_show(GTK_WIDGET(random));

Warning: I am not used to C or GTK+ in C; I am used to PyGTK. If am
basing the above on your code, and how it's done in Python.
