I prefer this behaviour for selection but I don't understand why you have
removed the mouse-face property. I can't see such properties on a text
terminal and in situations where I can, I would be able to use the ordinary
menu bar.

+(defface tmm-inactive-face
+  '((t :inherit font-lock-comment-face))
+  "Face used for inactive menu items."
+  :group 'tmm)

font-lock-comment-face displays as ordinary text on a text terminal now.
Would it not be better to define tmm-active-face and make that stand out?
