Hi,

Here is a patch that add a X resource to color the highlighted menu
entry in the Lucid backend.  There is much going on here because I
needed to understand this code and end up needed to refactor some part
to implement this feature.  This was about ten clunky patches that I
finally squashed into this one.

I have tested that it works with the 2 following configuration
     - 	--with-x-toolkit=athena
     - 	--with-x-toolkit=athena --without-xft --without-cairo

Here is how it looks like:
