Actually, I had hoped that there might be some way to configure
the behavior of mozilla's menus. With fvwm, for example, you can
configure how much overlap you want (and any other aspect of it's 
behavior) - which also shows, that not all menus on the platform (X11)
behave the same. Actually, Motif's menus (used for example in Netscape
4.x) also don't behave this way. There, submenus are opened with an
explicit mouse click and stay posted until another mouse click occurs. 
Is there any way to get this behavior back in Mozilla? (As i already
mentioned, the "ui.submenuDelay" option doesn't seem to work).
