I like this.  I like this alot.  However, the level that pops into the root
popup menu really should be configurable...should we have <GIMP
Menu>-><Entries...>  or <Entries...> topped off with a _GIMP_.?

Which to default...hurm, prolly the latter, as the topmost entry, with the
mouse beginning very close.

Damn, I have got to do a mockup of pie menus, I THINK I can see how they've
been done wrong, and how they should have been done.

People--I'm looking for some research on translucent interfaces.  Help me a
bit here?
