I would like to know if it is possible to force the window manager to
ignore the menu bar.  i.e.  I want to be able to have windows
overlapping the menu bar area.  This is for an exhibit at the Science
Centre and we have found that the pull-down menus are too complicated
for a neophyte visitor to grasp in a minute or so.  We prefer to use on
screen buttons and the like.  I would like to use the window manager but
it won't let me draw over where the menu bar is supposed to be.  Since
Mac screen real estate is at a premium I would sure like to be able to
use the menu bar area for windows. 

Thanks for any help,
