I've done only elementary debugging with gdb and never from a different
machine, so I will need explicit instructions for how to set it up and
what to enter, and if it's not straightforward, I probably can't do it
soon.
But there may be a (for me) quicker way to investigate the issue: I'm in
the process of building a new system on this machine, which is an
updated version of my current system (on a different partition), and one
of the first programs I built after installing the basic system is
Emacs, first before installing X, then again with X but before
installing GTK. On this system, the X build used the Lucid toolkit, and
with it I did not observe the menu problems I described. Aside from
different versions of system libraries like glibc and build tools like
gcc, the two builds differ in their Emacs-specific configurations. The
build with the menu problems used
configure -C --with-x-toolkit=lucid --with-xinput2 CFLAGS='-Og -g3'
while the build on the newer system without the menu problems used
configure -C --with-jpeg=ifavailable --with-gif=ifavailable
--with-tiff=ifavailable
I'll try using the other configuration on the new system and see if that
makes a difference (though I probably won't get to that till this
evening.)
