dominik, from your post i get the idea that you do agree w/ menu-focus policy is annoying & not much could be done currently. right? in that case, there is nothing new below. i agree that closing tear-off menu should be difficult, but then the behaviour should be consistent as mikhael pointed. to reiterate ... problem w/ just moving mouse away to deactivate them is that they "don't care about their focus policy" as you said. while a aterm window, for example, is active, so is the torn-off menu window (when mouse moves on the menu). but ... the torn-off menu (window) remains underneath the aterm window; menu window doesn't get raised over the aterm, at least not until the menu [window] as a whole gets raised in the normal fashion. this mixed tear-off menu focus policy is what is so irritating. anyway, i do like fvwm tear-off menu facility in development, and middle mouse button click on a menu title works like a <backspace>. - parv -- -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
