Thanks for making this available, it was interesting to play with
(although I don't like twm :]). Certainly gives a different feel than
the standard pull-down rectangular menus.

Seeing that makes me live in hope of a PieMenu module, where one
could add into little mini-pixmaps (maybe with pop-up tips to remind
you what they are), maybe with branching menus so the circle expands
and contracts as you click into sub-menus, with little pie pieces
growing and disappearing. It'd be a lot more useful than whatever
background image loudness Enlightenment is coming up with. :)
