[Tkinter-discuss] Workaround for submenus not displaying in 8.4.15

Under Tcl/Tk 8.4.15 (at least on MacOS X) submenus of menubutton menus 
don't display (submenus do work fine from the menu bar). This is tk bug 
1731734.

Anyway, this is causing grief for my application and I was wondering if 
anyone had found a workaround (other than reverting to an older Tcl/Tk, 
which I really don't want to do -- this is the first universal binary of 
Tcl/Tk that reliably keeps track of mouse position; in fact it's the 
*only* version of Aqua Tcl/Tk other than 8.4.11 that does this).

I suppose I could rewrite my application to never use menubuttons with 
submenus, but I was hoping to not have to change the existing user 
interface.
