We're all looking forward to the new menu support in GNU Emacs 19. Though I agree with Dana Chee that the One True Right Way would be to wait patiently (or help work on it!), and until then, compile Emacs without HAVE_X_MENU; I've grown rather accustomed to having those menus at my mouse fingertips. If you don't mind the aesthetic dirtiness of using a hacked early-X11 port of an X10-originated menu package, you can use the libXMenu11.a that came with X11R2 to make your nice new GNU Emacs. See giza.cis.ohio-state.edu:pub/X.V11R3/contrib/oldXMenu.tar.Z for all you'll need to make it for yourself.
