    In my .emacs I had

    (menu-bar-mode -1)

For all such things, you need to specify them with an X resource
if you want them to take effect immediately before the window
is displayed.  This is because Emacs displays the frame
before it processes your .emacs file.  So any changes that .emacs
makes take effect after the frame appears.

There are good reasons to do that--for instance, so you can
see error messages and debug if you ask to.  But it has
a bad effect in this case.

Does anyone have ideas for a way to get the best results in all cases?
