 Lucid Menu X Resources
 ======================
 
    If the Emacs installed at your site was built to use the X toolkit
 with the Lucid menu widgets, then the menu bar is a separate widget and
 has its own resources.  The resource names contain `pane.menubar'
 (following, as always, the name of the Emacs invocation or `Emacs'
 which stands for all Emacs invocations).  Specify them like this:
 
      Emacs.pane.menubar.RESOURCE:  VALUE
 
 For example, to specify the font `8x16' for the menu-bar items, write
 this:
 
      Emacs.pane.menubar.font:  8x16
 
 Resources for _non-menubar_ toolkit pop-up menus have `menu*', in like
 fashion.  For example, to specify the font `8x16' for the pop-up menu
 items, write this:
 
      Emacs.menu*.font:	8x16
 
 For dialog boxes, use `dialog' instead of `menu':
 
      Emacs.dialog*.font:	8x16
 
 Experience shows that on some systems you may need to add `shell.'
 before the `pane.menubar' or `menu*'.  On some other systems, you must
 not add `shell.'.
 
    Here is a list of the specific resources for menu bars and pop-up
 menus:
 
 `font'
      Font for menu item text.
 
 `foreground'
      Color of the foreground.
 
 `background'
      Color of the background.
 
 `buttonForeground'
      In the menu bar, the color of the foreground for a selected item.
 
 `horizontalSpacing'
      Horizontal spacing in pixels between items.  Default is 3.
 
 `verticalSpacing'
      Vertical spacing in pixels between items.  Default is 1.
 
 `arrowSpacing'
      Horizontal spacing between the arrow (which indicates a submenu)
      and the associated text.  Default is 10.
 
 `shadowThickness'
      Thickness of shadow line around the widget.
