You've hit the problem on the head!

However, here's the weird part. If I use fvwm95 as my Window Manager
(it's my default), the menu-drop-list is positioned *ABOVE* the
menubar-entry; thus causing the problem above. If I switch to twm,
it positions itself below the menubar-entry (as I'd expect it to),
and everything works ok.

Whoa.

I wouldn't have expected the Window Manager to have such an effect on
the menu-list positioning!
