A long time ago I customized kill-ring-max to 1024,
and the only problem with such a big value is that
it produces too long submenu in "Paste from Kill Menu".
This is because menu-bar-update-yank-menu
truncates to the length of kill-ring-max,
but it should introduce a new variable
separately customized for the paste menu's size.
