I can have another look, thinking it should be easy to figure out where and how the "Menu items" UI options were set up, but got lost. I see that I should have opened the qtcurveconfigbase.ui file in a text editor. That at least clears up where the controls are defined, but there's still a lot of things going on in the code that undoubtedly made it easy for the original author but not to someone jumping in for a casual change!

I then realised that this looks weird when the user uses a very tall or tiny font (or has a high DPI screen). Therefore the check is now generated using the UniCode `Check Mark` glyph (? cf. http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2713/index.htm) rendered in the menu font (or `Apple Symbols`, on OS X).
