It's like going back to a once and still so-called 'glorious past' ...

Pop-ups and menus use their own X resources:

Emacs.menubar.font:

I actually don't know whether any of them still works, but in Emacs 
info there is still a lot explained on X ressources!

Athena is a poor choice, lucid is quite better as toolkit for X11. I 
think it's Motif that waits for X resources like 
'Emacs.pane.menubar.shadowThickness'. At work I had Gnome, i.e. GTK, 
but almost never the time for 'experimental research' ...

Since I am working with Mac OS X and Apple's X11 now I have the 
impression that xrdb is not working correctly anymore or that X11 has 
become lousier according to its higher version numbers ...
