Congratulations, Mike!  You have the dubious distinction of being the
first person to report that the code for positioning the menu is broken!
 I didn't write that routine, though, so don't blame me!  

But seriously, I noticed about a month or two ago that the menu
positioning code assumes the panel in on the bottom of the screen. I
just haven't gotten around to fixing it yet. I'll try to get to it in
the next minor release.

I can't get the menu to pop up above the screen, though I suppose it
could happen.  I would have thought GTK would keep that from happening,
but perhaps it's a window manager thing.  Who knows?  It does work
properly with the panel on the bottom or when run as an application,
right?
