That is interesting. This means that a face used in a frame might not
exists in a form that is loadable by XLoadQueryFont, right? So I think
it is real shortcoming of what I wanted to do.

Yes, I know. Everytime I'm trying to do something on oldXMenu this idea
keep resurfacing. But it is quite a task and oldXMenu is already here
and not that bad. Do you think that child frames could be a starting
point for menus?
