Hi Matt,

I clearly see this as a trick to get the last outstanding changes to
popup buttons in. For some reasons I cannot remember we refrained from
including all the changes you proposed at that time and now you try to
sneak them in under the cover of enabling in-window menus. Nice try, but
I noticed :-)

If you really want to get the remaining stuff in, I would propose you
write a new patch (or better one for each feature) that could then be
discussed on this list. I really don't remember what was the problem at
that time.

Fred

PS: As for the in-window menu, does anybody still have Michael's code?
It really would be nice to have a solution here and I am going to work
on the window decoration anyway, to get this better integrated with themes.
