The MenuButton widget is an area, often rectangular,
that displays a graphic.  The graphic may be a text
string containing multiple lines of characters in an 8
bit or 16 bit character set (to be displayed with a
<emphasis remap='I'>font</emphasis>), or in a multi-byte encoding (for use with
a <emphasis remap='I'>fontset</emphasis>).  The graphic may also be a bitmap or
pixmap.

<!-- .LP -->
When the pointer cursor is on a MenuButton widget, the
MenuButton becomes highlighted by drawing a rectangle
around its perimeter.  This highlighting indicates
that the MenuButton is ready for selection.  When a
pointer button is pressed, the MenuButton widget will
pop up the menu named in the <function>menuName</function> resource.

The name of a popup shell to popup as a menu.  The MenuButton
will search for this name using <function>XtNameToWidget</function> starting
with itself as the reference widget.  If the search is
unsuccessful the widget will continue up the widget tree using
each of its ancestors as the reference widget passed to
<function>XtNameToWidget</function>.  If no widget of called <function>menuName</function> is
found by this algorithm, the widget will print a warning message
and give up.  When the menu is found it will be popped up
exclusive and spring_loaded.  The MenuButton widget does not
copy the value of this resource into newly allocated memory. The
application programmer must pass the resource value in
nonvolatile memory.

<!-- .LP -->
The MenuButton widget does not place a server grab on itself.
Instead, PopupMenu is registered as a grab action.
As a result, clients which popup menus without using XtMenuPopup
or MenuPopup or PopupMenu in translations will fail to have a grab active.
They should make a call to XtRegisterGrabAction on the appropriate action
in the application initialization routine, or use a different translation.
