Last time I fixed this issue, I had to tweak stuff in our Python build  
for the right stuff to show. On leopard, we don't build our own  
Python, we use the OS's so we're to having to figure this out again.

Yes, be sure to verify that the menu survives a restart via a  
programmatic restart such as after a repo restore or an EIM import.
