Has anyone implemented anything like HyperCard's `tear-off' menus
under X ? To explain - you popup the menu, and then `rip' it off the
point at which it is invoked, move it to some convenient position on
the screen and there it stays, available for further use without
popping it up again. Alternatively, does anyone want to speculate on
ways of achieving this ?
