One mouse click on a menu item is sufficient to perform the underlying function
(before my change on 2007-03-30 a mouse click popped up a completions list).
This is just how the toolbar functions.

With tmm, sub-menus have to be navigated through completions lists, which some
find inconvenient.  Toolbars don't have that extra complexity.  I'm just
trying to say that toolbars and text terminals (with use of the mouse) are a
more natural fit.
