It came back to me.  You're talking about Joel Peterson's <tarzan@aosi.com>
patch (which I have a filed copy of).

I tried applying it one point, but there were two fatal flaws.  One is that
the menubar accelerators were dependent on another patch submitted at the
same time and the other patch (frame in a glyph) was broken.  The second is
that this turns out to be one of the rare instances where FSF copyright
assignment is truly required before the code can be safely added to XEmacs
due to Joel's employer.

NOTE to Kyle:  Joel explicitly requested waiting for copyright assignment.
