This may be an issue having to do with my GTK themes that I had
previously installed.  They worked great with October Gnome, but
with Helix I'm having some problems.

I have not been able to fix this in 1.1.5 (the Helix release).  The
"keep menu items in memory" option doesn't work.  I seem to
remember someone fixing that recently in CVS though, so I have no

Life would be so much easier if we could just look at the source code.
