I'm not exactly sure what to do with this. I assume I need to get the

latest source and build it, after applying this diff? Where do I get

the source? I've never built Emacs from source before. I'll try to get

to it when I can.

Yes. You can get the emacs-26 branch sources by doing

    git clone -b emacs-26 https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/emacs.git

then

    sudo apt-get build-dep emacs

    cd emacs

    git apply menus.patch #assuming you put my patch in menus.patch

    ./autogen.sh

    ./configure

    make

    src/emacs -Q

and then let us know how it goes.
