A couple more thoughts about the AppMenuItem.  Regarding reference
counting:

AppMenuItem *
app_menu_item_new (IndicateListener * listener, IndicateListenerServer * server)
{
        AppMenuItem * self = g_object_new(APP_MENU_ITEM_TYPE, NULL);

        AppMenuItemPrivate * priv = APP_MENU_ITEM_GET_PRIVATE(self);

        priv->listener = listener;
        priv->server = server;
...
}

We're holding onto a pointer to listener, but we never actually
g_object_ref() it.  If that Listener were to unref to 0 before this
AppMenuItem does, then once AppMenuItem hits 0 its finalize is going to
try to disconnect signal handlers using a probably invalid pointer.  And
I'm also not sure if we're disconnecting signals in the correct place
either anyway..

static void
app_menu_item_dispose (GObject *object)
{
        G_OBJECT_CLASS (app_menu_item_parent_class)->dispose (object);
}

static void
app_menu_item_finalize (GObject *object)
{
        AppMenuItem * self = APP_MENU_ITEM(object);
        AppMenuItemPrivate * priv = APP_MENU_ITEM_GET_PRIVATE(self);

        g_signal_handlers_disconnect_by_func(G_OBJECT(priv->listener), 
G_CALLBACK(indicator_added_cb), self);
        g_signal_handlers_disconnect_by_func(G_OBJECT(priv->listener), 
G_CALLBACK(indicator_removed_cb), self);

        G_OBJECT_CLASS (app_menu_item_parent_class)->finalize (object);

        return;
}

Right now we have a dispose method that's not doing anything.  If we
were holding any references to other objects, that would be the right
place to unref them I think.  And while we're unreffing them we would
also need to disconnect any signal handlers related to them.
