Yes that's true. The most annoying thing a user did once was to move the 
"Applications" window above the menu :-) As a result he couldn't close 
it. And of course it's always on top :-) Because you cannot move this 
window with the meta key, I'd to kill EtoileMenuServer so the user could 
close the "Applications" window :-)
Annoying and time consuming. :-(
