[racket] Graphics Issues in Ubuntu 11.10

Thanks for warning me about the upgrade. :/

If you want to determine whether it's the global appmenu making your 
tabs disappear, try opening a terminal and starting DrRacket this way:

     export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=drracket
     drracket

That should disable the global menu for DrRacket. It does in 11.04, 
anyway. Can both of you reply and say whether that got your tabs back?

If it does, I'll bet appmenu thinks the tabs are part of the main menu 
based on their window class.
