I just noticed that i double copied the contents of models/menu.py. I am posting the proper menu.py content. The behavior is the same as i described it before, it was NOT WORKING like it did on my windows machine. NOT EVEN the top level menus showed up in the black bar. HOWEVER, a Horizontally Striped Box appeared to the right of the Login menu. When i clicked on that Horizontally Striped Box, the entire menu appeared vertically, in a vertically expanded black bar that was about 2 inches from top to bottom. Here is the proper menu.py content that caused the behavior i just described.
