Fascinating. I am certain that I was seeing the same problem as Andreas.
However, I am unable to reproduce the problem right now. I *just*
switched from Gnome/Sawfish to KDE, so it looks like there is a bad
interaction between the plotting program and some window managers.

The Xmaxima menus themselves exhibited similar problems until Mike
changed them to be standard Tk menus. Please file a bug report.
