[R] winMenuAdd misbehaving?

[Simon.Gatehouse@csiro.au]

Microsoft Windows R users,

I am operating Windows 2000 (build2195) with R1.7.  It may be pertinent that
I am using a dual head screen with the initial RGui filing the entire area
of both screens.

When starting R I use the .First() function to add menu items to the RGui
interface using winMenuAdd() and winMenuAddItem().  The menus do not display
until the RGui window is physically manipulated in some way. In R1.6.2 the
menus were immediately available without the need to manipulate the window.
In all other ways the menus function as previously.

Questions;
1) does anyone else get the same behaviour?

2) If this is intended for some reason, and not a bug, then is there a way
of invoking the update of the menu bar from within .First() or perhaps using
command line arguement?  

Perhaps I'm missing something obvious. Any suggestions are most welcome.

Regards
Simon Gatehouse
