based on v2.5.1 experience... menu items always seem to be in "MouseFocus" mode even if "fvwm_menu" class was assigned "ClickToFocus" policy. well, the torn-off window does respect the "ClickToFocus" but menu items do not. (that's seem like your first point.) other problem is when the torn off menu (window) is placed on two pages, the menu doesn't behave like it does w/ "Animation" style when there is no enough space to fit the whole menu (in non-torn off mode). i would expect the menu to slide on focus such that it is appears in its entirety on the current page. (that could be your 3d point.) pressing "escape" on torn off menu's window title doesn't make it disappear, only on the actual menu (items). - parv -- -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
