But surely the only way you could use the menu box is to move your 
mouse over it... and then the menu would disappear since your mouse 
wouldn't be over the other window any more. If you use the keyboard 
to navigate the menu it might as well be the menu in the current 
window rather than a copy of it. The menu box would only be useful if 
you were using "click-to-focus".

Which you should do anyway. =I>
