Or with the now fixed code in the 2.5 branch:

  Mouse 1 I N PipeRead "my_iconmenu.sh WindowMenu $[i.y] $[vp.height]"

--------------------------- my_iconmenu.sh -----------------------
#!/bin/sh

if [ $[$2 + $2] -lt $3 ]; then
  echo Menu $1 icon c +100
else
  echo Menu $1 icon c -100m
fi
------------------------------------------------------------------
