It's one of many third party programs that link themselves into GTK and
moves the menu bar from programs to the KDE panel.  They are never
implemented properly, and thus do not work with the Emacs lazy menu
update mechanism.

So I'd say this bug is a wontfix.  Please tell the global menu widget
developers to send proper GDK_BUTTON_PRESS and GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE events
to the program's menu bar before displaying its contents.
