I should have caught that. It is an easy fix. Thanks.

I will take a look. It does not look terribly bad on my machine,
I will try on a slower one so the effect really shows.

This is probably due to the non-optimal rebuilding of Emacs menus that
this code currently does. I wanted something working, so when Emacs
tells the UI code to rebuild menus, I basically throw away the old menus
and create new ones. It has always been my plan to make this better,
I will move it up in priority. I must do this for detachable menus
also.

There are ways for 1 at least. I don't know about 2, the code in Emacs
just uses the menubar widget as is. I'll check if there is something
one can customize. For 1) you can create a file ~/.gtkrc-2.0
and put into it something like:
style "menubar"
{
font = "-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1"
}
widget_class "*GtkMenu*" style "menubar"
One can also use 'font_set = ...' or us Pango font names with
font_name = "helvetica bold 14"
Unfortunately I haven't set names on all widgets yet, so the above
setting will affect all your GTK menus. Later on, you can say somthing
like
widget "Emacs.*.menubar.*" style "menubar"
