bug#5353: 23.1; buffer pull-down menu not complete

[John Telting]

  Report:

  when loading files into emacs using the cntr-x cntr-f keys,
  the loaded file is not added to the "Buffers" pull-down menu
  anylonger. This used to be the case in older versions of
  emacs, and was a nice feature. 

  My current Emacs is version 23.1.1, on Ubuntu 8.04.
  Only the buffers given at the command line at startup are present
  in the pull-down menu, together with the Scratch and Messages
  buffers.
