Idea For Pinnable menus

[Anthony Gasparetto <tgaspare shaw ca>]

I used to use a program called GeoWorks. One of the best features it had 
were the pinnable menus. The menus contained a spot that stopped the 
menus from collapsing when an item is selected. I proposed this idea at 
the Ubuntu unity web site but they didn't think it would be appropriate 
with the unity shell. They liked the idea and suggested I post it on the 
Gnome webpage. Here is a link.
