This commit seems to account for the odd #0313 menu behaviour reported by @charlieroot in post #1071. With the above commit blacklisted (not included) the menu behaves correctly (submenus and widgets appear normally).

If you add the above commit to an Ubuntu build it's possible to reproduce the exact same odd menu behaviour - use default guisettings.xml (rm guisettings.xml, then start kodi.bin) then disable the RSS ticker to avoid GUI updates which mask the issue.

Restart kodi.bin after disabling the RSS ticker to see the problem: the Movies recently added widget will not appear on startup; wait for it to appear (up to 60 seconds - the widgets automatically appear at 00 seconds past the next minute when a widget JobWorker thread is finally started), then when navigating between Videos and Movies, the menu will no longer "slide" into view, instead it will appear to "jump" or "snap" into view, and there will also be no Video sub-menu.

Edit: The Debug OSD will also mask this problem. <loglevel>1</loglevel> in as.xml will allow the problem to be "seen" while still capturing debug information.

Edit2: Thinking about it, it's probably the clock updating (on the minute) that causes a GUI update and thus for the widget to finally appear.
