Yes, this is certainly due to GTK+. The menu also remains in the foreground 
when you ALT-TAB to another programme. It doesn't go away with clicks on 
other areas of the screen and even stays active! A click on the menu or the 
tooltip, respectively, makes it disappear, though.

I wonder whether there might be a workaround. If GTK+ sends a notification 
if the programme loses focus, we could destroy the menu or tooltip 
manually. But I don't know much about GTK+, unfortunately.
