Thanks for the explanation.  Using radio items inside an option menu
certainly is pretty silly.

Using "togged" instead of "activate" didn't affect the behavior any.
The problem now is the last point you made: the child widget has been
removed from the menu item since it's being displayed in the option
menu's button.

In looking at the option menu widget, I couldn't see an obvious way to
see any indication that an option menu's button widget has been
updated.  Is there some way to detect when this happens?
