This "worked for me" until I made the following upgrades:

ThinkPad T42 -> ThinkPad T500
NetBSD i386 -> amd64
xorg 1.4.2 -> 1.6.1.901 (from pkgsrc)
KDE 4.2.2 -> 4.2.3

It is not just the menu that fails but also all the mouse-over pop-ups along 
the menubar as well as black-backgroud error pop-ups.  I see a partial outline 
of a black border but no center.  It appears not to be X driver dependent as I 
see this with both the Intel and the Radeon drivers.
