hi
when I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10 the elisp code to create menus
stop working.
Consider example in http://xahlee.org/emacs/elisp_menu.html
It creates the menu "MyMenu", but the menu itens inside it don't show!
The emacs version didn't change: GNU Emacs 22.2.1
Anyone else had this problem? how to solve it?

It can be because you are now using a newer Gtk+ version. Please use
report-emacs-bug so we can see that at once instead of having to ask.
If indeed you are using Gtk+, it is due to the introduction of native windows.
To see if this is the case, start emacs with
% GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 emacs
and try again.

Closing this report as I don't think there will be a new release in the
22 branch. The 23 branch have a fix for this, and the next released 23
will handle this fine.
For Emacs 22, the workaround is to set GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 in the
environment.

I don't have any recollection of this problem. Could you elaborate? If
the menus don't work properly unless GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1, maybe we
should set it unconditionally.

Native windows is Gtk having internal windows that map to the same X
window. This confuses Emacs, mostly when it tries to map X events for
windows to frames. I.e. there might not be separate X windows in the
menu that is children to the frame X window. See bug #4122.
I'd rather not set GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS as it disables the optimizations
that native windows give. It may also be removed in a future Gtk+
release, so it isn't a good solution.
It isn't hard to fix emacs 22 as well, but does this bug warrant a new
22 release? Maybe, as distributions like Ubuntu still ships 22 (see the
linked Ubuntu bug in #4122). A 23-release soonish is not wrong though :-)
