I need to stare at the code and see if I broke it somehow.
Just to make sure, can you go back to the menu code (in gtk-gui.c) and remove the _("Help") there and replace it with NULL and see if that works?
Maybe there's a subtle bug there in the gtk adaption that makes things fail if we pass in our own string which is longer than "Help"...
