Setting the StartingNodeUrl on the RadTreeView control

I'm working on a custom tree view menu that used the RadTreeView component.  I've created an user control, which I include in my pages.  When I add the control to a page, I need to set the StartingNodeUrl to a specific url, but cannot. There is a StartingNodeUrl option in the "Edit" menu for the widget when I edit the page, but it seems to do nothing.  My only other solution is to create multiple user controls with each one set to a different StartingNodeUrl.

Any suggestions?

1.<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="VerticalMenu.ascx.cs" Inherits="SitefinityWebApp.VerticalMenu" %>
2. 
3.<asp:SiteMapDataSource runat="server" id="VMenuDataSource" ShowStartingNode="false"/>
4.<telerik:RadMenu runat="server" ID="VMenu" Flow="Vertical" DataSourceID="VMenuDataSource" EnableEmbeddedSkins="false" Skin="VMenuSkin" Width="280px" CssClass="LeftMenuTest"></telerik:RadMenu>

Mysteriously, it started working and frankly I'm not certain what I did different.
