	I'm having two problems with the printed output of items displayed 
	in the :menu mouse gesture menu.

	1) When I define a translator that passes multiple objects, i.e.

	  (define-presentation-to-command-translator foo-tran
	      (my-type foo my-frame)
	    (object frame)
	    `(,object ,frame))

	  (define-sectors-frame-command (foo
		:menu "Print this in the menu.")
	      ((object 'my-type) (frame 'my-frame))
	   (do-something))

    Could you make a small failing application for me?  The apps I have all
    do exactly what I expect.

	  The menu comes up with an corresponding printed representation
	   "Print this in the menu #<PACKAGE::FRAME 123456789>"

	  CLIM seems to want to display a printed representation of the 
	  arguments.  I want to suppress it.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^	


	2) In some cases I want to delete the :menu mouse action altogether,
	   but defining a
		(define-presentation-to-command-translator foo
		    (my-type command frame :menu nil)
	   seems to be determined to add the :menu gesture to the mouse, although
	   it does remove the item from the menu.  So what I end up with is a
	   :menu gesture documented in the mouse line, and an empty menu.
	   Probably confusing to the end user, wouldn't you think?

    In the CLIM I am running, I don't get the menu translator offered unless
    there is something in the menu.

I don't get the menu, but I do get mouse line documentation on the gesture.
