It happens in OpenBox as well. It's probably a bug not to ignore
windows with _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_MENU, but this is likely to be a
problem with many window managers, taskbars, and pagers.

I see from xprop that _NET_WM_STATE is not set on the menus. How about
setting that to _NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_TASKBAR and
_NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_PAGER ? My panel does this in addition to
_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DOCK.
