The menu bar is split on as meny lins as needed (Motif at least), but 
menu-bar-lines is not changed.

I'm afraid that at least menu-bar-pixel-height can not be made available 
 until the menu bar is realized.  Since Motif uses Xt, one could set a 
different font, height or whatever in .Xdefaults that affects menu bar 
height.  An alternative would be for Emacs to duplicate the Motif/Lucid 
(and more?) logic for calculating menu bar height, but this is not 
attractive.

tool-bar-lines * font-pixel-height should be tool-bar-pixel-height.
