Horizontal Menus

Just a few comments on the horizontal menus:

1. I like the screen space that it saves and they do look nice, but I miss being
able to quickly right click and access a menu item. Any way you could have
the horizontal menu, plus a vertical menu on right click?

2. The horizonal menu covers the app when the app is maximized. It almost
seems as though the horizontal menu should send a WM_HINT to remove that area
from the available desktop space, but then I'm not certain what would happen
since the menus will come and go as you launch diff apps. That I am sure
would get pretty tricky.

3. When you have a menu selected, and move to another workspace, the selected
drop down appears on all other workspaces, even though the app is no longer
active. The menubar disappears, but the dropdown stays on the screen.

4. When run with Camaleon, there is a gray arrow > at the end of each menu
item. It works fine w/o Camaleon.

Just a few comments, that's all. Maybe it will open some discussion.

Oh, if you want to see a screen shot, you can view:
