Thanks for the help -- few followup issues below!

That doesn't work for me -- the label still goes grey in the
background. Does it work for you?

Wow! Magic.. that indeed is what I was after.  One minor detail, the
menubuttons I was after (as opposed to buttons) on OS X have a little
black triangle in the corner to indicate that a menu will popup when
you click on them.

In fact I've just noticed in the Tile demo that this little triangle
is there for the non-tile menubutton and (delving into tk's source
code) the toolbar style is generated automatically in plain old TkAqua
(no tile) when a menubutton is compound.

One last question on this: each such Tile Toolbutton has an empty
margin outside the thin black border. In some MacOS X applications,
small toolbar buttons are arranged right next to each other, with
their black borders touching, and hence one would not want this empty
margin to appear. Is this possible with Tile?
