I did not check the patch on my test site yet but after looking to the 
code I have a question why this is needed:

>> +		function refresh_menu() { window.setTimeout('_refresh_menu();',0); }

Cannot it be done simply with a call to _refresh_menu()? It almost 
identical to calling setTimeout() with zero time-out (may be except that 
control does not not go out immediately from script???).
