This may help. At work I use emacs on solaris, and the menus had a funky
stipple border instead of a cool motif-like shadow look. I started poking
around with editres and found a few things. Then I poked around in the source
to emacs to see how the resources were being used.
I now have this is my .Xdefaults file:
!Setting menu background turns off ugly stipple shadows.
Emacs*XlwMenu*background: gray75
If debian has editres (or something better) try that to see what resources are
availiable and experiment.
