Subject: bug#4513: [Aquamacs-devel] Where are the menu sub-items in Aquamacs version 2.
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2009 17:24:10 -0400

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

And one more bit of information:  the missing menu issue only occurs  
when I run Emacs in VNC (Apple's VNC).  When I run it locally, 10.5.8  
poses no problems.

So let's split this issue from 4513, which is about the mangle  
applications menu when compiling on 10.6
