As promised, attached is a megawidget variant of Michael's SearchEntry. 
  It's for placement in my tklib widget package, so it uses that 
framework (which basically means it is a snidget).

I've attached the code, with a sample.  It has a built-in image which I 
plan to modify (add a little down arrow).  The image isn't configurable 
... it's easy if I allow it across all instances (modify the master 
image), but for each menuentry will be trickier.

It's a bit of a hack of various bits together, but it does seem to work. 
  Comments welcome.  You'll likely find this in my widget package in CVS 
tomorrow.
