Linux can't disable menuItems?

[Bill Vlahos]

Peter,

Thanks for confirming the problem and coming up with a workaround.  
I've created bug report #7832 for this bug.

Does anyone know if there are any consequences in using the "button"  
syntax instead of "menu"? Menu works fine on Mac and Windows so I  
don't want to break any of my existing code.
