Is it possible to show a checkmark by the currently selected option in an OptionMenu or Menu in Tkinter?

Here's my code for displaying an OptionMenu:

from Tkinter import *

master = Tk()

variable = StringVar(master)
variable.set('USER') # default value

w = OptionMenu(master, variable, 'USER', 'SYSTEM')
w.pack()

mainloop()

Here's what it looks like:

Screenshot showing there are no checkmarks.

In OS X, a drop down box like this would normally have a checkmark next to the currently selected option. Does anyone know why it's missing or how to add it?

(Also, the icon on the right of the box is odd. Normally a box like this has two arrows stacked on top of each other - top pointing up and bottom pointing down. Anyone know why it's just a down arrow?)
