Personally, I would like to see a tutorial on making menus that contain 
items other than text - ie, menus with icons, menus with colour 
swatches, a menu with a volume slider - as in MacOS X, etc.

I have also refrained from using sub-menus, because the documentation 
kind of discourages you, by mentioning caveats here and there. Perhaps 
a tutorial on that would help users like me build more concise menu 
bars more confidently !  ;-)

WOW! How about a tutorial on THAT? - automatically resizing menus! 
Cool...

Thanks!
