Eureka!!   This is exactly the problem.  I downleveled my udev version
back to 124 (it was at 141) and now the menus come up.

So, it would seem that the lack of udevinfo causes the frontend to
hang waiting for that process to complete, which is odd, given that it
never really runs.  Here is the error i get when trying to run udevadm
like MediaMonitorUnix::GetDeviceFile():

oak usr # udevinfo -q name -rp
the program '/bin/bash' called 'udevinfo', it should use 'udevadm info
<options>', this will stop working in a future release
udevinfo: option requires an argument -- 'p'

Should I open a bug to address?
