Works fine for me. On what kind of system are you trying to run this
code? What version of XForms? There once upon a time were problems
with menus on systems where the "best" Visual was different than the
default Visual (TrueColor vice PseudoColor). I'm not sure if the
problem persists in 0.88 and I can't check at the moment. Perhaps
someone else can.

You can determine the default Visual with the `xdpyinfo' command.
