Thanks a lot for digging into this. I've tested your changes and so
far everything seems to be working well, I can remove items and use
fl_get_menu_value to get the correct ID.

One problem that I found is fl_delete_menu_item refers to the item
index, not the value. This can make deleting items pretty tricky. To
that end I've added a function to go the other way, from value to
item. It works for me although I may have missed some things
(specifically, I'm not sure if the ISPUP thing is right -- and also,
is the item index really 1-based?), I tried to make it the inverse of
fl_get_menu_value. Note that if multiple items have the same value,
this returns the first item with that value. Returns -1 if value is
not found.

=== menu.c ===

int
fl_get_menu_item_from_value( FL_OBJECT * ob,
			     int         value )
{

  FL_MENU_SPEC *sp = ob->spec;
  int item;

  if( ISPUP( sp ) )
    return value;

  for( item = 1; item <= sp->numitems; ++ item )
    if (sp->mval[item] == value)
      return item;

  return -1;

}

=== menu.h ===

FL_EXPORT int fl_get_menu_item_from_value(
               FL_OBJECT * ob,
               int         value
               );
