It looks bad indeed.  However, this is all done in Gtk+, I don't even have a
theme that highlights the menu bar like that.  Does only QtCurve do that?  Or
are there other Gtk+-themes that highlights like that but doesn't have the
same problem?

The GNUS menus are defined with easy-menu, thats about all I can think of that
differs from "regular" menus.  Can you define a small menu with easy.menu and
see if the problem is there then?

Thanks,
