I, for one, would very much appreciate that.
I find the Warp-style menu navigation behaviour (explicit click required)
to be one of the best features of Presentation Manager as a GUI. I just
can't work with the Windows way. (Navigating to the correct submenu
using a dirty or flaky mouse, or a touchpad, is quite impossible. Even
with a standard, healthy mouse it's hard enough.)
