So you prefer:
	optionmenu.get_menu().get_active().get_data("foobar")

I prefer:
	foobar[optionmenu.get_history()]

  Mine is shorter! :)

  And a shared data structure is good.  You can even use that to build
the option menu.  And you'll have anyways most of the times if you value
gui / main code separation in your program.

  Best regards.
