Well, that's rather mysterious.  I was initially thinking that it might
be a GTK+ issue between the two systems, but if ROX-Menu was built from
source on each systems and, presumably, built against the same GTK+
version as ROX-Filer, there shouldn't be a problem.

The only difference between running ROX-Menu as an application and an
applet is that the main container widget is a GtkPlug rather than a
GtkWindow.  Currently, ROX-Menu doesn't even pretend to check for errors
when creating the plug, so maybe that's where the problem lies.  Here's
a link to a copy of the CVS code with some plug checking added.

You can try it and see if anything different happens.
