The xmenu interfaces that have come by recently are too slow on my
machine (Sun 3/80) to do many of the popup things I would like, and I
plan on using GWM for popups later on.

However, it occurs to me that a big piece of the overhead associated
with xmenu might be bypassed if it was given a streaming interface
instead of a command line interface.  If xmenu took a line (or
several) at a time from stdin, did it's menu thing, and responded via
stdout, it could be an attached process using the regular emacs stream
interface.  This would save startup costs, maybe save some X object
costs?  

I haven't examined the code so I really shouldn't be posting, sorry if
this is poorly thought out, but this thread will probably be gone
before I get a chance to look.  Can anyone comment?
