[OS X Emacs] clicking the menubar requires two clicks in 3.5

[Tom Van Vleck]

I have noticed something similar, not just with Aquamacs.

I notice the "Spinning Pizza of Death" when I start an application -- sometimes.
Because I often start Aquamacs and leave it launched for days, I don't notice it 
as much as I do with other applications, especially MS Office apps like Word and Excel.
I try to restart my Mac once a week but sometimes wait longer, and it may be 
that the SPOD only occurs on the first launch of some apps after restart.  
More Research Is Needed.

But now, Aquamacs freezes my computer at opening and then, when I click on a menu (except Aquamacs menu) FOR THE FIRST TIME, I get the « spinning wheel of death" during 10 seconds before the menu drops down. After this "first time click wheel of death» the behaviour of the menu is OK.
