This is actually experimental: I (or someone) thought it would be cool to  
use a window-menu while the window is untopped. Uncommenting two lines in  
XaAES would top the window-owner before drawing the menu. I don't know  
what happens when the owner has more windows, and I don't know any example  
for this.

I guess it would require lots of changes in the code to have menus clipped  
correctly and it could be confusing to the user so I'll revert this  
experimental stuff.

Is there any program that uses AES-window-menus and has more than one  
window?
