This is a known bug (at least to me).  Here is the bug report I
sent in to the exterminators:

SYNOPSIS:
    When using the new toolkit stuff (application contexts), the
    MenuPopup and MenuPopdown actions are not added.

DESCRIPTION:
   The problem appears to be that _XtPopupInitialize() calls
   XtAddActions() instead of XtAppAddActions().  This means that
   an application context does not get these two actions, and trying
   to call them results in an unknown action  error.

REPEAT BY:
    What I did to get the error:  I changed my application from using
    the R2 and before toolkit initialization to the new method
    of toolkit initialization and starting using application contexts.

SAMPLE FIX:
    I fixed it just by doing a XtAppAddActions(tmActions) on new
    application contexts, but that is just a quick fix.
