        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: OO.o menus use incorrect window type
    Classification: Code
           Product: framework
           Version: version58
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Priority: P3
         Component: ui

Seemingly all menus created within OpenOffice.org applications, such as those
from the File/Edit menu bar as well as drop downs for font selection, are
created using the wrong wm-spec¹ window type.  Rather than be identified as
menus with _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE² set to _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_MENU, they instead
appear as _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_UTILITY.

As you can see from the following description, this is clearly the wrong window
type:
> _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_UTILITY indicates a small persistent utility window, such 
> as a palette or toolbox. It is distinct from type TOOLBAR because it does not 
> correspond to a toolbar torn off from the main application. It's distinct 
> from type DIALOG because it isn't a transient dialog, the user will probably 
> keep it open while they're working. Windows of this type may set the 
> WM_TRANSIENT_FOR hint indicating the main application window.
