	If you're talking about the Menu Bar[1] ... i.e. Add To Panel/Menu Bar
and not Add To Panel/Utilities/Panel Menu ... then its a bug I
definitely want to know about, because it works for me here. On the
other hand, if its the Panel Menu applet ... perhaps you should use the
Menu Bar ... the Panel Menu isn't even in gnome-applets HEAD.
