quite right wrt changes in emacs 23. However, it seems we have a larger
issue. Apparently, you cannot have top level menu 'actions' under emacs when
built with gtk. This is not an issue on windows, but it is an issue if we
want a solution that will work under both windows and gtk_ versions.

I have a couple of ideas, but want some time to think and possibly try a few
things out. I suspect we may need to re-thing how this all works if we want
this functionality to work cross-platform.

Title:
  Emacs menu doesn't come up right

Status in VM (View Mail) for Emacs:
  New

Bug description:
  Working on Emacs 22 or 23 on MS Windows, If I pick Help -> Switch to
  Emacs toolbar, nothing happens.  Clicking somewhere on the menubar
  once more brings it up.

  Going from the Emacs menubar to the VM menubar works the same way.

  Is this an Emacs problem or something wrong with VM?
