SV: [Nautilus-list] Ramiro: Information on nautilus_pop_up_contex t_menu()

["Blad, John Erling" <john erling blad aftenposten no>]

Wouldn't it be safer to grab the pointer, then pop up the menu?

I havn't checked your code but what if the window manager don't
respect no_decoration (WM_NO_DECORATION?) and put a frame on the menu.
If I'm not wrong (gee, would be nice..) the no_decoration atom tells
the window manager not to make a mess and put all kinds of handles on
the window, still it is free to decorate the window with a static frame.
