In the last few commits on master, I implemented something like
your suggested patches with regard to menu items and refcounting.

The work began at
the following commit, and was patched up
the following few commits. 

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guile-ncurses.git/commit/?id=c3f20ee766c487f8d1d1c47152326e08b56cafb4
 


I'm in the middle of a long slog to improve the granularity of the test suite,
so I'll try to write some tests for this along the way.

Thanks,

Mike Gran
