I installed your initialization code (modified for my `load-path' and
Lisp implementation) and started it with Emacs 23.1 and the latest
revisions of SLIME's files in its CVS repository, and started Emacs
with

  emacs -Q --load your-slime-init.el

I did not see the problems that you are seeing with menus.

Some things to try:

- Be sure that you're specifying '-Q' or '--quick' to Emacs to
  eliminate the possibility that some other Emacs-Lisp code is
  interfering with your initialization code, above.

- Delete all compiled Emacs-Lisp files (*.elc) in your SLIME directory
  tree.

- Check the *Messages* buffer for any error messages that might
  provide some information about why SLIME is not working.
