Hmm, personally I'd hate this, since at least speaking for myself, I
kind of "remember" where in the menu certain menuitems are in pixel
terms, so I move my mouse to the position of the menuitem without
thinking. However, if the menu length varies all the time I'd have to
reorient all the time.

Just my 2 cents ..
