Yes.  The problem is, I cannot see in the code anything that is
Windows-specific, and Nick couldn't trace the code on GNU/Linux in a
debugger to compare with what I saw, because that freezes the window
manager (the offending code is part of a callback on GNU/Linux).

Maybe the reason is in the discrepancies between xmenu.c and w32menu.c
that Jason mentioned in another thread a few days ago.  I will look
into that when I have time.
