thanks for the reply!
actually, i would have no problem if a popup menu stays in place, when i
move the mainwindow, but actually the popup menus even pop up in the
wrong position, when the window was previously moved.
is this the same problem? cant the mainwindow give correct coordinates
to the popup menu, when it pops it up?
