I've tried this with mixed results. I get a lot more flashing of
the display when I use these lightweight menus which I find extremely
annoying. At one point, I ran into a problem where the flashing was
continuous, and sucked up my CPU. Going back to AWT menus made that
problem go away. Let me know if you run into any problems using
this.
