Possible dup of 7417, but the about:blank workaround
is apparently not working either, so .. new bug I think.

Pavlov checked in some menu changes, I smell a rat.

one-line backout of pavlov's change to nsMenuBar.cpp fixes this.
Fixed.

so could someone explain why this worked for me?  assuming (yaeh i know, bad..)
nsWindow::ShowMenuBar() is being called, there should be no problem.  the call
to gtk_widget_show(menubar) in nsMenuBar::Create is a bad thing(tm) and
shouldn't be there.  I will look at this code again tonight.

pavlov: I did some testing of your code without the extra call to
gtk_widget_show.  nsWindow::ShowMenuBar() is definitely being called, and it is
calling gtk_widget_show(menubar).   It's not working right though.  The actual
menu BAR is being displayed (as in the gray area at the top of the window), but
no actual menus are appearing.  This is with gtk+ 1.2.1.

hmm, ok.  i'm using 1.2.3 and its working fine.  mcafee, what version of gtk are
you using?

I'm not seeing any menubars in the browser (they're fine in the editor) in my
morning 6/14 build.

I'm pretty close to the gtk tip.

I'm going to upgrade my Glib/Gtk+ and see if there's any change.  I'm building
with client.mk, and no additional options.  NSPR built from the tip.  Pavlov:
are you using a similar configuration?

I can't tell anything one way or the other on this bug because of symptoms of
7417.  I'm seeing some things that I don't remember seeing before, like garbage
in the content window before the page is rendered, and at one point the page
rendered in the sidebar.

[Jay Patel [:jay]]

I believe pavlov means Dup of Bug 7417 (not 7147)... and i'm just verifying this
as a dup of that bug.
