Curiosity question.  Why do you have a cascade without a submenu?
The one thing I can think of is I'd love to have it work that I could select
the cascade and get a default submenu item if I just release - instead of
pulling off, but I don't know how that could be done.

Well, for what it's worth this still happens at 1.1 (unless it's a 1.0 MWM problem,
which seems unlikely).  Looks like someone should file a bugreport on it.
