Should behave now just like windows :-)

Not a problem - we all want only the best!

From your screenshot it looks like the menubar should be shifted 1 pixel  
to the right.
But this was displayed by rsm, not XaAES, right?
In the fileselector for example the menu is too wide and shifted left, so  
it's similar.

Should the window-menubar have the same vertical bounds as the  
window-title?

There may be rounding-issues, also I'm not happy with the whole  
toolbar-size-calculation, don't know if this has an effect here too.

Your other problem regarding the menubar-position: I can easily shift the  
titles left/right, but the menuboxes below would remain unchanged, so the  
they would not fit vertically to their titles (see screenshot - was not  
easy to make this ..). So I'd have to shift the boxes too. Later.

I guess they are not easier to correct than to notice them ;-)
