I've had a look at some examples on the web and it looks like you need
to:

1. Set the menu on a menu item (the 'set_submenu' method);
2. Append the menu item onto the menu bar.

What you're actually doing is:

1. Setting the menu on a menu item;
2. Appending the menu item onto a menu;
3. Trying to append the menu onto the menu bar.

Result: exception.
