You may wait for my mod'ed version of win32lib to be open to beta testers, 
it will do that job right.  This could take like 10-15 days, allowing for 
more testing. Alternatively, you can try wrapping SetMenuItemInfo() in the 
Win32 API and use this to set checked and unchecked marks to the same bitmap 
(your own). I'll post or email the details if you are in a hurry and wish 
to try this approach. The API isn't very tricky really.
