Sorry, I didn't check a recent enough version of the manual.  I see
you've added a NEWS entry since then, thank you.

The way to customize it is still rather unsatisfactory (what with
font/fontSet/faceName, the latter being misleading in the context of
Emacs, compounded by the distinction between menu*, dialog*, and
pane.menubar).

I really wish we could set those things via faces (i.e. reflect changes
to the `menu' face).  It already works for background/foreground colors
of the menubar and popup menus.
