I put this in my .emacs file:
(custom-set-variables
'(gud-gdb-command-name "gdb --annotate=1")
'(large-file-warning-threshold nil)
'(menu-bar-mode t)
'(shell-dirtrack-verbose nil))
(custom-set-faces
)
(add-hook 'shell-mode-hook 'ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on)
Note the (menu-bar-mode t). When I fire up emacs, I have to M-x menu-
bar-mode to get a menu bar. I am running GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (mac-apple-
darwin, Carbon Version 1.6.0)
I have posted my problem to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3793806/how-do-i-display-the-menu-bar-in-emacs-every-time-i-start-up
The suggestions there didn't work; other users noted they did not have
this type of a problem; I am concluding, then, that the problem lies
with this particular build.

Works for me in GNU/Linux with Emacs 22.1 through 23.2.
Note that the menu-bar is on by default anyway, so you should not need
to do anything in the first place.

I am afraid that is quite old and no longer supported. Please try the
latest, Emacs 23.2.
As a workaround, you could stick
(menu-bar-mode 1)
at the end of your .emacs.

Upgrading to 23.2.1 fixed this. Is there a process for letting Apple
know that their stock installation is broken? I *am* using an older
version of the OS so it might be fixed in 10.6.*. I don't know what
kind of relationship gnu.org has with Apple; if there's a process for
this it might be beneficial to push this to them.
Thanks again for looking into this. I appreciate it.

There is no relationship between gnu.org and Apple in this regard.
You could report it to them through whatever channels they have for
users of their system to report bugs and make requests.
