When I start GVim, the menus are tiny - only the first two items are visible in each. If I refresh the buffers menu (refresh menu and delete both do this) I get access to its full contents. 'Syntax.Show filetypes in menu' does the same for the syntax menu, and re-calling the menu file from /usr/share/vim/menu.vim will help with the edit menu (/usr/share/vim/runtime/menu.vim doesn't work, although diff says they're the same), but none of the others work with any sort of consistency - I did get them all once, but I can't remember what I did any more, and when I tried that again it didn't work.
In addition, sometimes calling Refresh menu crashes Gvim. It seems to happen randomly, and gives the error message,
Vim: Caught deadly signal SEGV
Vim: Finished.
Any thoughts? Version info:
$ gvim --version

$VIMRUNTIME is /usr/share/vim/runtime, and /runtime/menu.vim is definitely there and setting more than two items per menu.
Also, some unimportant issues which are probably because of Athena, but just to check:
1. The right-aligned parts of the menus don't show up. I expect that they're just too far to the right - it only shows 'Show filetyp' for the entry 'Show filetypes in menu'. Is there a way to change the width?
2. It there a way to make it so that a single click expands the menus and I then click on the item to activate, rather than having to hold the button down and release on an item?
