        Ok; so I was so persuaded that this is how it works now:
  
        In menu mode -
                tearoff attribute, falls back to gnome-preference
        
        In popup mode -
                tearoff attribute, falls back to no tearoff.
                
        ie. if you really want the tearoff in popup mode you can get it,  
but most people will never see it.
  
        Regards,
  
                Michael.
