 And they become even better if simply Kicker itself shows the window. It can, 
it does so with my patches. Having the popup handled by Kicker would have 
similar advantages, but there comes the problem of transferring the popup.

 I can transfer menu containing text entries, that's no problem. Even some of 
the weird menu items like sliders could be supported. But a list of such 
items has to be finite. Well, that's an implementation problem, I don't think 
we're quite there yet.
