What does that have to do with forking? GtkImageMenuItem is just
a convenience wrapper around a GtkImage and a GtkLabel, it's not
that they dropped it for any technical reason and it's not a lot
of code that would require much maintenance either:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/tree/gtk/gtkimagemenuitem.c?h=gtk-2-24
Putting it into libxfce4ui would just make porting more simple
and allow us to keep menu icons (which I would hate to see go from
applications like Thunar where they are quite helpful in long
menus).
