FWIW, for a long time I've noticed "migration" of the various palettes in Gorm 
from one invocation to the next. It only seems to happen if I'm using a 
non-WindowMaker WM, e.g. kwin. I haven't noticed it happening with the menu, 
but then I haven't been paying that close of attention to it.

I have also noticed migration of menus in other apps, but only detached 
submenus, not the main menu. E.g. if I detach the File menu in GWorkspace, the 
next time I run it under kwin, the File menu has migrated down a distance that 
looks approximately equal to the height of a kwin title bar. So perhaps the 
issue there and in Gorm has something to do with adjustments made for title 
bars in non-WindowMaker WMs (notwithstanding the fact that menu windows Should 
Not, and in my case at least do not, have titlebars)?

P.S. Sorry I have neglected to speak up about this before :)
