The SuSE built emacs works find in the same user environment.
In my previous reply, I believe I forgot to read this last sentence.
This behavior is definitely a recently introduced bug. The bug does
not occur in emacs-21.2.90 -q.
The problem not only occurs for Syntax Highlighting, but also for the
two options directly below it.
I believe menu-bar-make-mm-toggle is the culprit. The following is a
macroexpansion of actual code in menu-bar.el:
===File ~/menu-bar-stuff====================================
*** Welcome to IELM *** Type (describe-mode) for help.
ELISP> (macroexpand '(menu-bar-make-mm-toggle global-font-lock-mode
"Syntax Highlighting"
"Colorize text based on language syntax (Global Font Lock mode)"))
'(menu-item "Syntax Highlighting" 'global-font-lock-mode :help "Colorize text based on language syntax (Global Font Lock mode)" :button
(:toggle and
(default-boundp 'global-font-lock-mode)
(default-value 'global-font-lock-mode)))
ELISP>
============================================================
'(menu-item "Syntax Highlighting" 'global-font-lock-mode
I do not believe that global-font-lock-mode is supposed to be quoted
here. I believe this explains the bug.
Sincerely,
Luc.

The following diff (which just removes a backquote) seems to fix the
problem.
menu-bar.el is pre-loaded. The effects can be checked by reloading
menu-bar.el and executing:
(menu-bar-make-mm-toggle global-font-lock-mode
"Syntax Highlighting"
"Colorize text based on language syntax (Global Font Lock mode)")
Change Log:
*menu-bar.el (menu-bar-make-mm-toggle): Remove the backquote in
front of fname.

It is fixed now, right?
