This makes me think "why doesn't epoch simply PROVIDE us with menus?" Surely this wouldn't be difficult. Why can't we simply have a collection of e-lisp functions that provide pop-up menu support? Is there a religious, political or socio-economic reason for not doing this? Or is it simply the question of "menus from which widget set"? It just seems rather....umm....inconvenience and inefficient to rely on something like xmenu or gwm for menu support.
