This probably depends on what Motif library you use.  Apparently they
often do not (properly) support more than one row of menus.  Vim does
make a second row when using a ":menu" command that adds a menu.
Resizing the Vim window doesn't change it though.  That's with Lesstif.

Fixing this will be complicated, but it should be possible.
