When I coded that feature, it first worked the way you mentioned. For some
reason, the current practice seems more intuitive (to me at least), since
your probably going to have only few submenus and lots of programs in the
main menu or you keep everything in categories. In either case, no harm
done.

On related news, I've seen lots of requests trying to make wmx have
everything "civilized"[1] window managers have.

1) Dock. There already are sticky windows, so do we need two overlapping
   mechanisms? Of course, the suggestion mentioned losing the window
   decorations etc. Sticky windows as is don't do that.

2) Lots of configurability. Am I the only one here who finds some perverse
   joy in having to recompile after every change? There's always
   Windowmaker and friends, you know. 

   (Someone could do a wmx theme to most
   popular window managers, in case one has to get along in a hostile
   environment)


[1] Everyone of us of course knows wmx is the most civilized there is. I'm
    referring to the heathens here.
