Exactly.

By default, menus are placed like any other window. If you don't
like that, put the style

  Style fvwm_menu UsePPosition

in your config file. But then, borders or even complete menu
entries are sometimes shifted off screen. Not very nice either.

I'd like to add that but I can't think of a way to continue
dragging once the old menu is unmapped and the menu window is
mapped.

I'm not yet finished with the implementation yet. There are some
quirks that bug me. Any input is welcome.
