Makes no difference, I get the bgerror problem (it happens during the 
constructor of the TkMenuOptionButton which is before I even set 
win.wait_visibility).  So this error might be lurking for us.

I'm disturbed that you cannot recreate this problem with my test case. 
Maybe a sanity check is in order... does this problem recreate for you 
prior to your previous patch being applied (i.e. on vanilla 1.8.2)?  If 
so then perhaps my colleague didn't get the patch in quite right or 
something.

I am using tcl-tk version 8.3.2 on linux/i686 and hpux11.00/pa2.0.
