I am using jdk1.5.0_06 and i never get a gray icon for my disabled menu options. The screenshot shows what i mean.
for screen look at Issue 72691
I checked various JDK versions and it seems like JDK problem. Submenu icon is grayed correctly in 1.4.2, but not grayed out in 1.5.0 and 1.6.0. Will have to develop test application to enter JDK bug.
This looks like a jdk bug, i developed a small test application to test the menus with matisse and the same problem happens.
Entered JDK bug 6537076 with test app, closing this one. http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6537076
