This is almost perfect. I would like to be able to display a menu, and 
when clicking on the menu button item, a shell script executes. The 
return status of the shell script could set the background color of the 
menu button. (Green success, red failure.) A quick look through zenity 
didn't show anything. I could repop up the window using a while [ 1 ]; 
do; case etc; So that every time you click on a menu button zanity 
exists and you rexecute zanity at the top of the loop.
