Hi Matt,
IMHO you should either use udlfb from git.plugable.com (probably slightly
outdated ATM) or udlfb from kernel.org. Nothing else.

I have had a similar issue long time ago. But it was in GNOME/GTK apps. Menus
were drawn as small horizontal line, while QT apps were OK. That was on a RHEL 5
box with a very very old version of udlfb. Updating to the latest (at that time)
fixed it for me.
Just FYI: I was not able to debug this in details but I found out that menus
were drawn as rectangles with negative height. I wasn't able to dig any deeper.
