The problem of those kinds of menus that suckerfish menus don't have
any delay. It is easy to "slipper", when you must start again.
DHTML-menus can have delay and small slippering doesn't close menu.
Endeed that is not problematic, if menu is vertical.
For horizontal menu that is more problematic.
We (Peter Klein and I) made two-level topmenu using suckerfish menu
the second level cause slippering problem.
It works - and in skin_grey_2 works still - but user must be careful.
