Re: menu_widget2 and menu_bar

OK, this isn't too difficult, and it's turning out to be a good way to
get to know NW internals :)

Trouble I'm having though is placing the menus on the page. The original
menu_widget had a width specified (one of the reasons I want to use
menu_widget2), and in the loop that added each to the menu bar these
were simply added up for an accumulated width.

I've tried the easy way - just making display='inline' for each menu
node, but then the drop downs don't appear in the right place. 

I've also tried calculating the accumulated width using (line 137):
accumWidth += __util__.getTotalWidth(retobj.labelNode);

But no luck. In utility_core.js I can see that getTotalWidth() just
returns node.offsetWidth, but I have no idea where or how this is
supposed to be set.

Any suggestions appreciated.
