This confuses me.

I'm trying to catch up on a few loose ends; I'm in arrears by 
weeks.  I've re-read this thread, and I still don't understand the
aim.  I'm confident, though, that there are easier ways to meet
the true requirements.  Is the intent to work with Buttons, or
Menubuttons?  It's quite unusual to need to bind conventional
events to Buttons; it's more typical to rely on .command.

My suggestion:  simplify your question down to a more "atomic" 
one.  There are too many things going on in the code above for me
to understand.
