     Using "did" suggests to me (a native English speaker, lucky me!)
that it did not woek "for a short time" but then it started working
again.  I assume you mean that the menu entries "have not worked," that
is, they are still broken.

     Not really, but maybe I can help you diagnose it.  After the menu
entry has been defined, what does

:menu Resourcen.Menu\ GUI.gvim\ Source\ Menu

tell you?  (See :help :redir for how to record vim's response.)
