Dialogs seem to work well enough, and I don't care that their location
is not limited by the window's boundaries. 

What is curious is that this covering behaviour is variable: if I shrink
the parent window so that it is about 100 pixels high, then the dialogs
do not block the sub menus. At 150, the dialogs block some of the sub
menus, but not all. After that, they are all blocked.  ????
