bug#6034: 23.1; Disapearing Menus

Hey,

The problem is as follows:
Sometimes the menus disappear for some reason. I cannot narrow down in which
cases. Once the toplevel menu disappear, it is impossible to use it, unless
M-x menu-bar-mode will be invoked twice, or (not in every case) C-x b and
C-x 5 b and problematic windows will be put into a new frame. It is kind of
annoying especially with such applications like GNUS which menus tend to be
a very important cheat-sheet.
I am attaching screen shots as a reference.

Thanks!
Wojciech

btw: report-emacs-bug in my case had it own problems too... but i have
workaround it and used gmail.

Can you narrow it down to some specific buffers or modes, i.e. is it always in 
GNUS or does it happen in other places as well?

No you didn't...

Ah, I didn't see the emacs version.  This is probably a known bug, fixed in 
the upcoming emacs 23.2, see http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=4122.

Try starting your emacs like this:

% GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 emacs

or set GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS in your environment.  If you still see vanishing 
menus, please let us know.

Thanks,

	Jan D.

Hi,

It affects mostly non `core' menus, and usually happens when Emacs enters
the mode the menu is bound to.
Number 3 is after I opened a new frame (it shows the correct behavior).
