   Is there a way, once you click the middle button on 
   the little icon, to make the menu go away without making a 
   selection?  there should be.
   also, exit is confusing.  I wanted to exit the menu, not xscreensaver...

It's supposed to go away when you move the mouse outside the menu
window and let go.  A bug in the X toolkit, however, prevents this.

To make it go away, you can do one of two things:

1. Move the mouse outside of the menu and let go.  It won't go away,
   then, move the mouse back into the menu window, push and hold a
   mouse button, move the mouse outside the window *again* and let go.
   It will go away this time.
2. Type 'q' with the mouse inside the window.

The toolkit bug will get fixed eventually, I hope.

P.S. In the future, please send bug reports/questions about SIPB
   software to "bug-sipb," not to the entire sipb mailing list.
   Thanks.
