Suppose you have a pulldown menu button with a long list of options.  The
placement of the button on the screen affects how the menu is displayed
when the user clicks on it.

The default behavior seems to be that the menu deploys downward when the
button is pressed.  On contrast, if the button is at the bottom of a stack
window and the stack is near enough to the bottom of the screen, the menu
will build from the button in an UPWARD direction.

Is there a way I can get control of this behavior to always get the latter
behavior?  Specifically, I have an application where I have a row of menu
buttons along the bottom of the window.  They need to be at the bottom
because this is a mouse-intensive puzzle, and having them there makes for
shorter mouse movements.

A few of these are pulldown menu buttons.  I would like to have the menus
always open upward when the buttons are clicked rather than the default
downward direction.  Is this possible?
