For my feeling, those are not-toplevel things. The usecase I have in mind is 
for example scale in I do like *whole* windows scaling in, but menues get on 
my nerves. I would *personally* be happy with just configuring *one* option 
for non-windows (the menues, pop-ups and such we're talking about here). It 
would even be OK to have a reasonable default (fade in?) for menues and just 
ignore what the window does. So my preference would be one config option or 
none at all (given that my idea of a default is OK for the vast majority of 
users). One could still have it configurable for powerusers through an option 
in the config file, but in the UI, I find it overkill.

Having menues and comboboxes explode looks pretty stupid IMO (while exploding 
windows are of course cool :-)).
