I finally got time to change this.  Now, the old font resource is used 
by default.  The fontset handling is only enabled if you specify a 
fontset, either on the command line:

% emacs -xrm 'Emacs*fontSet: ...'

or in some X resource file (~/.Xdefaults for example).

To specify just for popups, do
% emacs -xrm 'Emacs*popup*fontSet: ...'

and just for the menu bar:
% emacs -xrm 'Emacs*menubar*fontSet: ...'


Can you try this:

% emacs -xrm 'Emacs*fontSet: 
-*-helvetica-medium-r-*--*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*,*'

and see if you still get the Warning message?  I tried all kinds of 
combinations of X versions, fonts and locales, but failed to recreate 
it.

If you don't get the message, we could set that as a default.  I'll 
wait with the documentation update until we know.

Thanks,
