in tk_optionMenu{} (optMenu.tcl file), border width and
highlight thickness are hardcoded to 2 (ugly) pixels,
thus preventing setting an application wide 1 pixel
border width for widgets, using the option command.

you can always configure [winfo parent] of what is returned
to you, but I think nowadays most people use comboboxes anyway.

You don't need [winfo parent] since you're supplying the
name of the menubutton as an argument. OTOH, as Jeff says,
a combobox is a better choice for most GUIs.
