Hmm. You're right. Not sure it matters too much, since editing items
should not be a very common task, but still...

I'll fix that.

I'd like to try and make the other menus open when you move the mouse
over them, like with a menu bar. I'm not sure this can easily be done,

I don't think I'll add the old behaviour back though. Too often I have
been asked to make the menus in the regular gtk menus -- much of what
you feel uncomfortable with is a consequence of this change.
Thanks for testing, I'll see what I can do about your suggestions,
