I've found a nasty work-around for the problem - I call JFrame.show() after
a JMenu is added or removed to/from the JMenuBar.  I'm not particularly
happy w/ this 'big hammer' approach, however, and invite those with
alternative ideas on the solution to provide some suggestions!

BTW, there is no mixing of heavyweight/lightweight components going on here
- everything is from javax.swing...

Thanks,

Jim
