I've looked into this and it seems obvious that Menu's shouldn't be able 
to become key (like they do now).

Unfortuneatly, fixing this shows another problem: Apparently WindowMaker 
doesn't allow the application icon to become key (i.e. get input focus). 
So if there are no open windows, the app doesn't receive key presses 
(like Cmd-q, etc). If anyone knows why this is or if it's a bug, let me 
know...

Or maybe the menu should be able to become key, but only as a last 
resort? That's seems too complicated, though.
