Are you sure you really want arbitrary widgets in a menu?  Are you  
sure that menu is what you want for this?

MenuShell acts as a container for MenuItem and things that derive  
from it, like RadioMenuItem or ToggleMenuItem.  If you subclass  
MenuItem you can probably put whatever you want in there, but i have  
a sneaking suspicion you'd have to draw everything yourself.

So, what are you actually trying to do?
