So does e16 (my normally preferred window manager), with its native
menus.

I haven't replied before because I need to test the Windows behavior for
comparison, and I won't be in a position to do that until next week
again. Either Windows doesn't do this "grab keyboard input" thing with
the menu, or there's some trick we're missing.

I do refuse to accept the notion that there's no way to get this to
work, though. It might require a lot of hoop-jumping, but if Windows can
get a keypress-toggled menu to work, so can we, by one method or
another.

(Well, key-release, actually; the Windows Start menu does its thing in
reaction not to the KeyPress event but the KeyRelease one. But that's a
separate part of the problem; I brought it up on the OpenBox mailing
list, but so far no one has attempted to address the question I actually
asked.)
