GTK lets you do it, just because GTK lets you put most widgets most
places, but nothing sane happens because it never occurred to anyone
to plan for that, it's a pretty nonstandard use of option menu.

I can see how maybe it could be useful, so possibly if someone patched
option menu to work in this situation then the patch would be accepted.
