Isn't it true that the appearance of toolkit menus can be fully
controlled only through X resources? Toolkits are not part of Emacs,
so they don't abide by our Lisp trickery. We are all spoiled rotten
by Emacs letting us control everything via Lisp objects and
properties, but the truth is that it only works because Emacs has code
to make it work. Toolkits don't: they have no idea what is a 'face'
in its Emacs interpretation.
