Grouch: Are you sure you're running the latest version of wxgtk? If I remember correctly you need 2.8.12+ for the menu to work on ubuntu.

TRUE! See the changelog to wx 2.8.12:
2.8.12:
-------

[...]
wxGTK:

- Fix for missing menubar problem under some window managers where menu bar height is
  reported as 0 when the menu hasn't fully realized yet. Now updates the height during
  idle time if it is 0, otherwise no menu is shown.


Well done, oBFusCATed!!!

Grouch:
Well done indeed to both of you! And many thanks.

I can report that the program, when built under Ubuntu 10.04, works correctly -- with menu -- on Ubuntu 11.10. 

I have checked my wxWidgets and it is indeed 2.8.11 instead of .12. That is, however, as well as I can tell, the latest in the Ubuntu depositories. So I face the question How can I update from the wxWidgets site? I got the wxGTK download, looked at it, and was lost. I've searched for instructions on how to update Ubuntu from the developer's  site and found nothing useful. I don't want to be a burden, but your advice would be much appreciated.
