[ESS-bugs] ess-mode 5.3.6; Recent files menu disappears if ESS is loaded first

If I (require 'ess-site) before I (require 'recent-files) the
"Recent-Files" menu no longer shows up at XEmacs start-up. But it does
show after I click on the menu bar *after* visiting a buffer in ESS mode.
On the other hand, if I load 'recent-files first everything is okay. This
suggest some problem with the menu handling in ESS. I don't know enough
about XEmacs menu handling to fix the problem myself though...

Thanks,

P.S.: For ess I don't have anything changed from defaults except calling
(ess-toggle-underscore nil). Here's how I configure my recent-files mode:

(when (eq (console-type) 'x)
  (require 'recent-files)
  (setq recent-files-use-full-names nil
        recent-files-number-of-entries 16
        recent-files-number-of-saved-entries 32
        recent-files-dont-include '("~/\\.newsrc" "~$" "^/tmp/." "^/.+ at .+:.+")
        recent-files-permanent-submenu nil
        recent-files-non-permanent-submenu nil
        recent-files-commands-submenu t
        recent-files-save-file (expand-file-name "~/.xemacs-recent")
        recent-files-menu-title "Recent-Files")
  (recent-files-initialize))
