Thanks.  We definitely need to deal with this as well.  However, it
seems that color is mostly handled as part of an icon -- so perhaps we
can get this for free when we make icons localizable.

I strongly second this.  The Apple book seems much better than the
Windows and Motif style guides.

I don't think so.  I prefer to try to avoid making menus that grow
without bound, if possible.  I guess that's a hacky solution in some
