Submenus of context (right-click) menus don't work

Bug Description

In right-click menus, sub menus (eg the Create Document menu on the Desktop context menu) display fine, but when I primary(left) click on the entries, the menu disappears, but nothing happens. However, if I secondary(right) click on the entries, everything works: the menu disappears and the action occurs. Entries not in a sub menu (e.g. Change Desktop Background in the desktop context menu) work perfectly fine.

This happens in all GTK apps I've tried it in so far. Not sure about kde/qt apps as I don't have any kde apps installed. Interestingly though, the move to another workspace sub menu on the window list context menu is not affected.

I thought the problem was compiz fusion at first, but disabling it doesn't change anything. I also tried restarting X and logging in to gnome with compiz disabled, but the bug persists.

The system is an up to date gutsy install. It's an upgrade from feisty.

Thank You,
Marco

I created another user account and the problem occurs in that account as well. Furthermore, I noticed that if I click on the sub-menu instead of simply hovering over it, its entries then function fine.
