Sorry if I'm being dense, but I'm just not understanding why this requires
jumping through all these hoops. In the MenuMadness example, there are
various kinds of menu emerging from images, and no subclassing is needed.
Once the menu is set up, that's that. (And yes, of course a dummy item is
used as the first item.) Perhaps if you compared what you're trying to do to
what MenuMadness already shows how to do...? m.
