Commands work but menu-bar not

[Finn Årup Nielsen]

I am experiencing the same problem with the speciel auctex-menu items
that do not open:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2011-11/msg00169.html

I have not seen any solution to the problem. My C-c C-c works, emacs -Q
doesn't help me. I have nothing of importance in my ~/.emacs except
(column-number-mode t) and custom-set-faces. I am using Ubuntu 10.10
(Maverick Meerkat) on the system that got the problem.

The load path shadowing is a red herring: Debian's Emacs package system
is totally contorted and places .elc files and .el files in different
directories.

Do the other Emacs menu items actually open?

The Debian AUCTeX package (as of "latest" releases, since 11.82-1 or so,
IIRC) should behave well in this respect: .el files are placed also in
the same directory as .elc files and the load-path should be such that
the directory containing .elc and .el files comes before that the one
containing .el files alone.

However, you are probably right about Debian's Emacs package system
being contorted.

Either way will trigger the warnings about load-path shadowings.  One
could probably patch up Emacs in some manner so that the special case of
identical or linked .el files gets excepted, but any arrangement where a
load-path order is relevant is a likely cause for trouble.

The idea of sharing a common .el directory between different versions,
even flavors of Emacs is not a good one.
