Many of the menu items on emacs do not work correctly when gtk is enabled. For example, if I open up a text file, it never appears in the list of buffers when clicked on the menu. Also, if items from CEDET are loaded (Senator, for example) the menu shows nothing. When compiled with USE="-gtk", when I open a file, it appears in the list of buffers. Also, CEDET menus have options in them. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge emacs with USE="gtk" 2.open a file 3.buffers will only show scratch, messages, and gnu emacs. Not opened file. Also, with a C source file, TAGS, C, Senator, etc (from cedet) have no menu items Actual Results: Buffers menu will only show scratch, messages, and gnu emacs. Not opened file. Also, with a C source file, TAGS, C, Senator, etc (from cedet) have no menu items Expected Results: Buffers Menu shows all buffers, menu items in appropriate menus.

Or it (most likely) needs to be sent upstream to either gtk or emacs.
I have the same issue here. As a workaround: Pressing F10 (which is the non-mouse way of accessing the menu), makes it work. But the menu still does not pick up future changes (eg. in the Buffers list). So one would need to press F10 as some kind of "refresh menus" function. emacs: 23.1 gtk+: 2.18.3

And I found this debian-bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=551302 and this emacs bug report http://emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=4122 So the workaround seems to be using 'GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 emacs'. But there also seems to be a patch available in the Emacs bug.
Created attachment 209567 [details, diff] emacs-23.1-gtk-menu.patch This is a patch for this is issue. It is lifted from the corresponding debian patch [1], which in turn is based on this commit [2]. It applies cleanly with emacs 23.1 and 23.1-r1 ... and even more: Fixes the issue :D [1] http://patch-tracker.debian.org/patch/series/view/emacs23/23.1+1-5/fix-dynamic-menus.diff [2] http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=3715ffe3e3b2c64d113bf26d94aab559f8559e83

I'll commit fixed ebuilds tomorrow.
Fixed in emacs-22.3-r3 and emacs-23.1-r2. Thank you for reporting, and for locating the patch.
