Yes, but then, if it does, it will be even wider at the right end. It looks 
more like it should be cropped at both ends.

The right view, of the clipboard manager running, with the menubar, is drawn 
by XaAES. The large window just behind it is RSM displaying the object tree. 
This screenshot was mostly meant to display the right shift of the whole root

I wouldn't say that it's shifted left; it's more like its shifted at both 
sides, which means its too wide :-)

Or the infoline. But right now, the menubar seems wider than the window bar, 
which can't be right.

This doesn't look right at all. I'd rather keep the whole menu tree shifted to 
the right than some parts of it and others not.
