I kept poking around and figured out how to make menu titles boldfaced
with a minimum of pain.

With the forthcoming changes (hopefully tomorrow or Thursday), panel
menus will look like:

	- - - - - - - - - - - - - -       (the tearoff bar)
	Programs                          (in boldface)
	---------------------------
	* Academic Courseware    ->
	* Editing and Publishing ->
	[etc.]

where the "->" is really a triangle and the "*"s are folder icons.
What I'm specifically trying to convey is that "Programs" starts where
the icons start in the menu entries.  I think this looks better than
lining up "Programs" with "Academic Courseware" et al, but if the rest
of the team disagrees, it's trivial to change.
