In the current implementation it does this only if menus have not  
been clicked on before (else the previous items, albeit out-of-date  
ones) are shown.  This is better than nothing, though it should be  
better.  However I'm not really sure how often this "clicks the menu  
bar at the timing of a read_socket_hook call from a QUIT macro"  
occurs in practice.  Anyway, what about the second-thread approach  
like W32, are there any gotchas you know about?
