Hi -- just got back and unpacked from travels (more details at
www.advogato.org, username inri ; sorry for cluttering this list with
pseudo-diary entries).

Thanks for the changes/cleanup!

IIRC, one of the key problems with the patch is that instead of
grabbing the pointer via gtk_grab_add () when it left a menuitem
w/active submenu, it uses a kludge of trying to intercept signals at
other menu items, and this doesn't work reliably (Owen got this to
fail).

Thus, we should try to get this working with gtk_grab_add () if
possible, and once that is done (or proves to be ugly/impossible),
post/submit a finalized copy.

Are there any other issues to address?

I'd like to get cracking on this (shakes sand from clothes),
so I'll see about getting up-to-date with glib, gtk, pango, fribidi
(is that it?), and get this patch finished and spit-shined.
