Are there problems apart from those with the menu-bar?

I did put this in FOR-RELEASE (2008-03-01 1.764):
** Mouse clicks on the menubar don't currently work with a console
Following the direct use of Gpm, the menubar now needs to be
considered a special part of the screen in Emacs on a console.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-06/msg00277.html
but it has apparently been moved to the bug tracker:
http://emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=808
The green part of the menu bar *does* work like a tool bar if you try it in an
xterm. When I implemented Gpm functionality at the C level in Emacs (for
mouse highlighting and tool tips) I got it to work in the normal window area
and mode line but not the menu bar. I was rather hoping some one else would
follow that up. I was also hoping for a DOS-like menubar rather than tmm.
In retrospect I guess this was overly optimistic.
