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.
