This is not really the answer you've asked for, so feel free to ignore it ;-)

The _very best_ solution I've ever found to problems with GMENU_LAYERS
and TMENU_LAYERS is to build a _very_ simple TMENU [1] and use css to
achieve the flyouts [2]. The *MENU_LAYERS series produces a truly
horrible amount of very ugly code and is, moreover, rather tricky to
configure.

[1] Sample TMENU code:

### Nice, simple TMENU:
lib.multiLevelMenu = HMENU
lib.multiLevelMenu  {
  ### LEVEL 1:
  1 = TMENU
  1 {
    noBlur = 1
    wrap = <ul id="navigation">|</ul>

    NO.wrapItemAndSub = <li>|</li>
  }

  ### LEVEL 2 is the same as level 1:
  2 < .1

  ### ...with one exception:
  2.wrap = <ul>|</ul>

  ### LEVEL 3 is identical to level 2:
  3 < .2

  ### Etc...
  4 < .2
}
