Re: TODO: Improve Submenu Navigation

[Benjamin Kahn <xkahn cybersites com>]

	I've created a GIMP image of your screenshot which I found at:

http://www.kimmccall.com/navigation/images/testApp.gif

	It seems to me that the area I have darkened on the picture would
be a better candidate for what you have in mind.  In other words, as long
as the mouse does not leave the item's area, or stays inside of the
darkened area, the sub-menu will still be around.  (Of course, even if it
leave the darkened area, the sub menu will stay around in most
cases...  It's only if you select another menu item outside of the
darkened area that the menu will disappear.)
