It is incompatible in the sense that settings in .Xresources that 
previously used
...*menu*font: ...

now must use
...*menu*fontSet:

for the lucid menus.  This should be mentioned in NEWS.  Also, the 
default font used for lucid menus will most certainly be different now.

It basically sets a default value.  If the user overrides it (with an X 
resource or -xrm on the command line) the user setting takes 
precedence.  Yes, it is a bit hackish.
