(I had removed all the X resources for Emacs because I wanted to
have a real vanilla Emacs, which can be launched by only the -q
option.  I will configure it in the ~/.emacs file even if I need
to use customized ones.  Although I have only two fontsets since
I don't know how to do it, I don't feel inconvenience with them.)

Thank you for verifying it.

I confirmed it makes Emacs display Japanese menu.

I hope it is fixed in Emacs 22.2 or 23. ;-)
