So you want action events happening for menu items which are menu 
containers also, correct?  I don't know whether this is possible as 
the L&F most probably has attached an action listener to these to 
control the UI, already.  I guess you could override it with a proxy 
to notify you and then invoke the original one, but it would be 
clumsy in face of dynamic L&F changes.
