Description
I upgrade my Mac to Tahoe 26.0 and migrated MacPorts. I noticed after doing this that emacs using the +x11 option now has a black bar covering the menus. If I click on the correct spot, the menus still work.

Local clients appear to be okay. Remote clients display black for the menu bar. Menu bar items may take time to update - selection boxes are correctly rendered. 2026-02-23 update: Background behavior depends on remote emacs version:
26.3 always displays a white background, 27.2 accepts explicit "-bg <color>" but ignores *background in .Xdefaults

The M-x set-background-color command seems to work in 26.3, 27.2, 29.4 remote emacs. The M-x new-frame brings up a new frame with a visible, working menubar in 27.2 and 29.4 remote emacs.
