I'd second this proposal. The problem with the current behaviour is 
that it not possible to reasonably implement keyboard navigation of
menus (because no item is selected if you move the mouse out of the
menu and button is not pressed). Like in motif/windows, there should
be at least one item selected unless the button is pressed.
