My menus shouldn't have to look like my bosses menu's, but he should
be able to look at maps that I create and have the proper icons. Names
of the bitmap files are not usually changed from person to person, but
the default menu setup is supposed to be different from user to user.
Also if you don't already have it, you should probably look for an
environment variable that will set the bitmap search path (i.e. it
doesn't look for tkined stuff there). It is up to the installers to
make sure that this is properly defined by default. This will make it
easy to move the bitmap directories around.

No biggie, its just thst it is difficult to look at the different
icons when you have to choose a new icon that will represent a machine
that you don't have a pre-made bitmap for.
Also, it looks like the patch for multi-cascading the icons works,
although I am having a few problems getting posted menus to stay
posted. Also, it looks like tkined (or maybe tk) is loosing the state
of some of its menu buttons (icons to be exact), so that it looks
selected even when it isn't.
