Looks like the problem is that you have got two menus with type="apple" in
your file.

You can/should have a single menu of type="apple", which is set to be the
one, compulsory, with its title the name of the application, displayed in
bold.

So, try removing type="apple" from the second menu.

Apple Cocoa doesn't really work well if you try moving/editing menus
around, and changing main/apple/xxx menus after your start the app.

But I suppose I should explain better, somewhere in the documentation,
that you need to have a single type="apple" menu -- this detail is quite
obscure at the moment. :-)
