No, please don't, I object very strongly to changing behavior,
especially that which has been in the XMenu library since the beginning
of time.

In general, it is not the role of Emacs to dictate what its toolkit or
menu library does.  That part of oldXMenu should never be changed, at
least until we decide to write a new no-toolkit menu library.

Thanks.
