Apparently, it is "just a bug", because I have tried everything I could
think of, and nothing seems to make IDL recognize that the menu has been
realized. I've tried unmapping the menu, adding the new entry, and
remapping it. Then I tried desensitizing the menu, adding the new
entry, and resensitizing it. I tried both of the above, along with
re-realizing the entire menu, then the entire GUI. None of these
helped.

I went to read the on-line help, and noticed an indication that a widget
placed into an already-realized hierarchy will be immediately realized.
I am in fact seeing exactly that (since I can click the button), but
apparently, the Solaris version of IDL fails to see that.

As a reminder, though, it does work fine on the PC (both 5.4 and 5.5),
and on Solaris, v5.4.

I'm at the point of considering alternatives to my design.
