Not quite the same problem as I have sometimes, but I DO occasionally have
a menu that's too large for my screen that I can't expand because the part
that should say "More..." is offscreen. Oh, I HATE that...
Version is fvwm2-2.2.4-4.
I have an fvwm95 holdover at the bottom of my screen of a taskbar-type
strip. I guess it has some "Always on top to interfere with your large
menus" option set...

Another thing I've noticed is that "FvwmTaskbar" occasionally seems to
show up as being some freaky memory hog in "top." It's the only thing I
ever get any FVWM-related errors with. Is that what that aforementioned
strip at the bottom is called?
