Sounds like there's a problem with wxTipProvider.
You could try to comment out the accelerator code in frmMain.cpp in line
183ff., TipOfTheDay in pgAdmin3.cpp line 136 and winSplash=0 in line 69.
Then, all decorating windows are bypassed and the main window should
come up with usable menus. If not, I'm clueless.
