I tried specifying the following stylesheet:

QMenu::indicator:non-exclusive:checked { color: red; } 
QMenu::indicator:exclusive:checked { color: red; }

I called setStyleSheet on my QMenu-derived class and passed in the above
string.  The checkable menu item now displays as a larger than normal
odd-looking box and, when clicked, it display an odd-looking black dot
inside the odd-looking box.

What have I missed here?

TIA!
