OK, so that explains menu items (as in the items in dropdown menus or
popup menus), but that doesn't explain the TMainMenu bar. Nobody puts
images in those (well no app I have ever seen in the last 15 years),
and that's the component two bug reports were raised about, in two
different windows versions.


Thanks Sergei for explaining some of the reasoning for custom drawn
menu items though. It seems nobody else knew the exact answer.
