     I have an application where I need to generate Popup
     menus on the fly.  The contributed MenuBox widget on the
     Release 3 tape works perfectly except that when I pop up a
     menu, the selections in it don't select.

     If I create menus before realizing the top-level-shell,
     they work fine.

Sounds like a bug, probably in MenuBox, but if you'll send us some
code to reproduce the problem we'll have a look.
