Thank you, I tried exactly the same thing. While it works, there are annoying delays in dropping down the menus -- sometimes they come down immediately, but more often than not I get a delay of 100-300 ms. Do you experience them too?

In any case, it's a lot better than the previous double-clutch menus. I rarely use the menus either but partly because they were so annoying; I find them useful for discovering functionality and keys in packages. Getting rid of the delays would be nice, though.

Maybe we could make the change conditional on GNUstep?
