Do you know the list of elements before you create the option menu?

If so, you can do something like this:

# suppose aElements is the list of elements, and var1 is a StringVar.
oOption = OptionMenu(oRoot, var1, aElements[0], *aElements[1:])

If you want to create the OptionMenu first, and then later set the list of
elements ... then it is a bit more difficult.
