There are the following needs for menu position hints.
* open a submenu (using Menu command) at the same position as parent
* open a submenu at the same x position as parent, and in the y of
the mouse pointer, plus/minus offset
* open a submenu at the same context (store it if needed) as parent
Note that the first and the last are not always equivalent, but probably
having only one of two would be enough.
The second may be used in "fvwm-menu-directory --reuse" or
fvwm_make_browse_menu.sh instead of the current WarpTitle although
WarpTitle is very good here too.
And finally (this is badly needed for the start menu of FvwmTaskBar):
* the left-bottom corner of a menu is at left-top of the client window
(FvwmTaskBar) or the frame, plus/minus offset
+------+----------
| Menu | the rest of FvwmTaskBar
+------+----------
| |
| |
+|__________|-----
| Menu | the rest of FvwmTaskBar
+------+----------
Try to specify a good position for the start menu (remember, FvwmTaskBar
may be resized) and you can't do this. The best tries are:
*FvwmTaskBar: StartMenu MenuFvwmRoot Mouse c # not aligned, not nice
*FvwmTaskBar: StartMenu MenuFvwmRoot Root +1p +27p # bad if resized
This is all not not very critical, but would be nice to have.
I am sure, you, Dominik, as usual may find a good generic solution. :)
