Cannot reorder menu items in the indicator applet

Bug Description

Once the menu is set with set_menu(), it is not possible to reorder the menu entries in the indicator applet. That is, calling the menu.reorder_child() method changes the order of the children in the menu instance, but this doesn't reflect in the order of the entries shown by the applet.

I attach a script that illustrates the problem. The menu entries are first filled as 0, 1, 2. Calling reorder_child() should swap 0 and 2. Actual result: the items' order in the indicator applet is unchanged.

I am in ubuntu 12.04.

For the record: this was first noticed in a plugin of gtg that uses an indicator applet (bug #1009689). The plugin raised warnings when items were added/removed from the menu. Using reorder_child() fixed the problem with the warnings, but was not functional in that menu items were not reordered.
