I just compiled the "old" X menus into emacs and am more-or-less impressed
(I'd be happier if the menu wasn't a child of the emacs window itself. Having
 the menu get clipped to the emacs window [which may be relatively small] is
 annoying). What I'm wondering now, of course, is whether or not anyone
has made much use of this feature. The buffer menu is actually pretty
useful. x-help is not. What have *you* done? Enquiring minds want to
know. Enquiring minds wouldn't mind the source code too. If there's
sufficient interest, I'll post a shar of everything I get that's deemed
moderately useful.

Now to go modify the puppy so that it creates the menu as a child of
the root window... I'll post the diffs..
