This loses for people who wish to be able to scan the items in all pulldown menus by dragging across the menubar. Throwing pushbuttons along the top is fine in Open Look, but I don't think you want to mix button types. Style may be style, but in this case there is good reason. (The UIL compiler will catch the pushbutton-child-of-menubar case, but I don't think it will catch the missing-pulldown case.) -- David B.
