Yeah, like I said, it isn't very usable in that respect. I'm now trying to
make a neat/ugly/horribly perverted hack to make the Menu class understand
submenus, so that "hidden" entries activate submenus when the cursor is
pointing to the end of the entry. 

The new menu would then come on top of the old one instead of cascading
like it does in most other systems. But then again, wmx has never been
like other systems ;)
