Please see my other reply.  The pseudo-window is changed when a menu bar
is activated on a TTY with a mouse, but not under X, where the XMenu
library is used to display the menu.  Since the proposed code only makes
a difference on terminals with variable-width fonts, my suggestion is to
use it only on X terminals, whilst letting the TTY menu bar operate as
before.
